[FG] May Exhume body of Deceased Corps Member for Autopsy

Indications have emerged that the Federal government may have to exhume the body of a deceased Corps member, Ifedolapo Oladepo, who passed during the 2016 Batch ‘B’ Orientation exercise.

She died at Gwoza General Hospital, Kano from after she fell ill in camp. The family claimed that she was neglected and was transferred to the hospital when it was too late.

The NYSC, however, said that they gave the deceased all the care she needed and transferred her when things got worse.

The Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung gave the indication while speaking with State House Correspondents on Thursday.

“The report given by NYSC is normal and natural, that after investigation they must present their own report on what has happened but in view of the fact that they are many versions on 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 now be able to tell Nigerians that this is the circumstances 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 it will fortify the conclusion the government will make,” he said.
