The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday confirmed it has begun an investigation into the death of a female corps member, Victoria Ariyo, who was serving in Abeokuta South Local Government Area and was alleged to have died from complications related to an abortion procedure.
It was gathered that Ariyo had allegedly terminated her pregnancy and later developed complications that led to her death.
Her remains were reportedly buried at Kobape Cemetery along the Kobape-Sagamu Road in Abeokuta.
Her death comes barely a month after another corps member, Adeleye Mary, died under circumstances described as mysterious.

Adeleye, who was also serving in Abeokuta South LG, was said to be undergoing her one-year mandatory service at a television station in the state capital before her sudden death.
Both deceased corps members were reportedly friends.
A source who spoke with our correspondent said, “The first lady, Mary, died at her residence, which is not far from her PPA. They found her lifeless body in the apartment, up till now, nobody can tell the cause of her death.
“However, Victoria, who was buried on Tuesday, was said to have died from complications arising from an abortion procedure.
“We also gathered that an NYSC official who was believed to have been in a romantic relationship with the late Victoria, which eventually led to the pregnancy and the subsequent abortion, has been picked up by the police from state command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the incident but declined to comment on any arrest linked to the case.
“I can confirm that the case of the demise of Victoria Ariyo is under investigation by the state Criminal Investigation Department,” Babaseyi said.
When contacted, the Ogun State NYSC Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel Igba, said he was unaware of the incidents, noting that he had been on leave and would not resume until April.
Efforts to reach the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs Olayinka Nasamu, were unsuccessful, as calls to her Personal Assistant, Mr Akin, were not answered, and messages sent via WhatsApp had yet to receive a response at the time of filing this report.
