The Ogun State Police Command says it has launched an investigation to unravel the mystery behind the death of a yet to be identified National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member in the state.<\/p>\n

The body of the deceased NYSC member was discovered in the Kadesh area of Ogijo.<\/p>\n

The police said the body of the corps member was discovered on Sunday after residents reported the case at Ogijo Division of the Command.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Sunday by its spokesperson, Omotola Odutola, the Command said it is yet to ascertain the cause of the NYSC member\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe eyewitnesses that raised a loud shout became curious to find a \u201ckeke\u201d plying a route not meant for tricycles. Before the eyewitnesses could properly investigate their suspicion, a lifeless body was discovered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d Odutola said in the statement.<\/p>\n

Odutola explained that detectives from the Ogijo Division were dispatched to the scene, where they discovered the body of the young male adult, estimated to be around 24 years old.<\/p>\n

According to the police spokesperson, the corpse was found in an isolated bush, and the area was immediately cordoned off.<\/p>\n

The body has been deposited at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital Mortuary in Sagamu.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one has reported a missing person fitting the description, and no family member has come forward to file a complaint of a missing person.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, the police have launched an active investigation to identify the culprits behind this heinous act.\u201d<\/p>\n
