Body of Oladepo Ifedolapo Racheal, the 2016 Batch ‘B’ (Stream I)
National Youth Service Corps member, who died at the Kano State
Orientation Camp will be exhumed for autopsy.
The Minister of Youths and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung disclosed
this on Thursday, while addressing State House correspondents
Preliminary investigation by the National Youths Service Corps, said the
First Class graduate of Transportation Management from Ladoke Akintola
University Ogbomosho, died of a kidney infection.
According to Daily Trust, the sports minister
explained that the independent investigation ordered by Buhari would
require an autopsy to balance the government’s conclusion on the
incident.
“The report given by NYSC is normal and it’s natural that after
investigation, they must present their own report on what has happened.
But in view of the fact that there 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 (President Buhari) not trusting the process; but gauge the
report alongside other opinion; then, we’ll now be able to tell
Nigerians that there were 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,” Dalung said.
