An official of the NYSC who spoke on anonymity confirmed the incident, saying only two corps members were affected and recuperating in the camp’s clinic.
He said there have been persistent calls by the leadership of NYSC in Ekiti State for the renovation of the dilapidated hostels but all the calls proved abortive.
He called on parents and guardians not to panic over the incident, adding that it had no serious negative impact on the corps members.
The corps members are in the camp for the three-week compulsory orientation camp for those posted to the State.
