A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) official in Ogun State, Abass Olalekan, has been taken into police custody following the death of a female corps member, Victoria Ariyo, in Abeokuta.
Ariyo, who was serving in Abeokuta South Local Government Area, reportedly died on Tuesday from complications linked to a terminated pregnancy.
Sources indicated that the corps member underwent the procedure before developing complications that led to her death. She has since been buried at Kobape Cemetery along the Kobape-Sagamu Road in Abeokuta.
The incident comes barely a month after another female corps member, Adeleye Mary, died under unclear circumstances in the same local government area.
Mary, who was serving at Ogun State Television as her Place of Primary Assignment, was reportedly found lifeless in her residence, with the cause of her death yet to be determined.
