NYSC member’s body to be exhumed for autopsy

An autopsy to find out what killed a National Youth Service Corps member, Ifedolapo Oladepo, 26, at the Kano Orientation Camp is to be conducted.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, on Thursday.
Dalung said the exhumation of Oladepo’s body would assist the authorities to get to the root of her death.
Oladepo graduated with a First Class in Transport Management from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
She died on November 29 and her remains were buried in her home town, Ila Orangun in Osun State on December 1.
The Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Sule Kazaure, said the Corps had no hand in her death.
This led to altercation with the deceased’s family.
But Dalung told State House correspondents on Thursday: “In view of the fact that there are many versions of what led to the death of the NYSC member, it would be fair to look at another version of what happened to be sure of what actually transpired.
“It doesn’t have to do with not trusting the process, but gauge the report alongside other opinion, then we will be able to tell Nigerians that this is the circumstance on how she died.
“Don’t forget that the report of the NYSC has no autopsy and an independent investigation will require an autopsy and now the autopsy alongside the report will balance and fortify the conclusion the government will make.”
