The Ogun State Police Command has initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the death of an unidentified National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member in the state
The body of the deceased NYSC member was found in the Kadesh area of Ogijo on Sunday, following residents’ reports to the Ogijo Division of the Police Command.
In a statement released on Sunday by its spokesperson, Omotola Odutola, the Command stated that the cause of the NYSC member’s death is yet to be determined.
“The eyewitnesses that raised a loud shout became curious to find a “keke” plying a route not meant for tricycles. Before the eyewitnesses could properly investigate their suspicion, a lifeless body was discovered.
“The culprits defeating the villagers were a step ahead and disappeared without trace despite the efforts of the concerned citizens to catch up with the culprits,” Odutola said in the statement
Odutola explained that detectives from the Ogijo Division were sent to the scene, where they discovered the body of the young male adult, estimated to be around 24 years old.
According to the police spokesperson, the body was discovered in an isolated bush, prompting the prompt cordoning off of the area.
The body has been transferred to the mortuary at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu
“No one has reported a missing person fitting the description, and no family member has come forward to file a complaint of a missing person.
“In the meantime, the police have launched an active investigation to identify the culprits behind this heinous act.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that a man identified as Abdullahi Sabo had been abducted with his wife while driving him in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
