The Nigerian Senate has opened an investigation into the death of a former Students' Union Government president who died while completing his mandatory three-week orientation course at the National Youth Service Corps camp in Enugu State.
The young man, identified as Mr Daniel, passed away during what is supposed to be a rite of passage for Nigerian graduates. Few details beyond his death at the Enugu NYSC camp have been made public so far.
The Senate's decision to probe the circumstances of his death signals growing pressure on authorities to account for what happened inside the camp. Families of corps members across the country will be watching closely to see what the investigation turns up.
