Two serving members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have died in a ghastly motor accident that occurred in Gobirawa village along Katsina – Kankara road in Katsina State, Channels TV reports.

The victims are a male from Anambra and a female from Akwa Ibom state.

TheLagostimes gathered that the deceased corps members were travelling along with other colleagues in a vehicle with the inscription ‘Corpers For Christ’ to attend a wedding at a Catholic Church in Funtua when the accident happened.

One of the survivors told the state Governor, Aminu Masari who was at the scene, that the accident occurred due to brakes failure during a heavy downpour.

According to an eyewitness, the driver of the vehicle with the inscription “Corpers For Christ” tried applying brakes but the bus swerved and hit a nearby tree.

Reacting, the governor directed that the surviving corps members be administered first aid treatment.

He thereafter ordered one of his convoy to convey them and the dead bodies to Katsina, the state’s Capital.
