FRSC Job Seeker Collapses and Dies

The ongoing nationwide recruitment exercise
being conducted by the Federal Road Safety
Corps was disrupted for hours in Lokoja on
Tuesday when one of the applicants collapsed
suddenly and died.
The Kogi State Sector Commander of the FRSC,
Olisegun Martins, who confirmed the incident
said that the applicant, a male collapsed shortly
after successfully completing about a two-
kilometre race.
Martins said that the applicant, who could not
disclose his name even dropped his tally before
he suddenly fainted and collapsed.
According to the commander, a team of medical
officials of the FRSC joined by their Nigerian
Army counterparts quickly attended to the
applicant and administered first aid on him.
He was later taken into the army clinic in the
Chari Megumeiri Barracks where the recruitment
was taking place for treatment.
Martins said, however, that the applicant died
barely 30 minutes after he was admitted into the
clinic.
He said that the incident would not result to the
suspension of the recruitment in Kogi, expressing
his condolences to the family of the deceased.
On September 25, the FRSC commenced the
recruitment of 4,000 people out of some 324,000
shortlisted applicants.
