It is indeed a great loss to the family of Obafemi Oluwatimilehin Paul, a Corps Member attached to Kebbi state who died Wednesday evening after battling a disease called aplastic anaemia (a kind of situation where the bone marrow is exhausted that it can no longer produce enough blood)
Obafemi, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, stream 1 set with state code KB/16/2111 developed the disease while in Kebbi.
After he graduated from FUTA without the sickness, he was posted to Kebbi state for NYSC. As soon as he got to Dakingari camp in Kebbi state, he began to feel extremely exhausted. After examination in Kebbi, he was told that his eyes were pale which is a symptom of low blood(anemia).
Obafemi redeployed to Oyo state for proper treatment. He was admitted at University College Hospital Ibadan where he constantly received blood transfusion both blood and platelets.
After all the fights and battles to stay alive, he died on Wednesday.
May His Soul Rest In Peace. May God comfort his family.
