The Federal Government has ordered that the body of Ifedolapo Oladepo be exhumed so as to carry out autopsy on the corpse. Oladepo died while serving in the NYSC in Kano state.
President Buhari has ordered an autopsy so as to determine the true cause of her death. The order was issued on Wednesday.
Speaking with State House Correspondents on Thursday, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mr. Solomon Dalong who however corroborated the official report of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC on the death said that in view of the different reports that have emerged, an autopsy might be an option to ascertain the true cause of death.
“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.
