Victoria Ariyo, a female corps member serving in Abeokuta south LGA of Ogun state, has died after allegedly terminating a pregnancy.
She was said to have died on Tuesday from complications that
arose after undergoing a suspected abortion procedure.
Her remains have reportedly been interred at Kobape cemetery
along the Kobape-Sagamu road in the state’s capital.
According to Daily
Trust, Abass Olalekan, the NYSC local government inspector (LGI)
for Abeokuta south, has been arrested by the police in connection with the
corps member’s death.
When contacted, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the police spokesperson in
the state, confirmed Ariyo’s death and said investigations were ongoing.
He, however, declined comments on Olalekan’s arrest and
alleged involvement.
As of the time of filing this report, Babaseyi’s telephone
line was switched off, while Emmanuel Igba, the Ogun state NYSC spokesperson,
said he was unaware of the incident.
The police and the Ogun NYSC are yet to issue official
statements on the corps member’s death and the reported arrest.
Reports indicate that Ariyo’s death comes barely a month
after the mysterious death of another corps member, Adeleye Mary, who was also
serving in the same local council.
