Abakaliki, the Director-General of the Scheme Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi,
stated that the victim got infected with the virus after treating a
patient with the ailment.
He
described Ogboji as “an exceptional corps member who was fully
dedicated to his duties and in the process paid the supreme sacrifice”.
Olawumi, represented by the Director of Corps...
Welfare and Inspectorate, Mr. Michael Ahile, extolled the virtues

Until

Government Area of Ebonyi State, was serving at St. Louis Hospital
Zonkwa in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Meanwhile,
