There are indications that the Federal government may exhume the body of Miss Ifedolapo Oladepo, a corps member who died in Kano State some days back.
Her demise sparked serious controversy with many already calling for the scraping of the scheme.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday ordered for investigation into her death.
Speaking with State House Correspondents on Thursday, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mr. Solomon Dalong said they might carry out autopsy on the deceased to ascertain what led to her death.
“The report given by NYSC is normal and natural, that after investigation they must present their own report on what has happened but in view of the fact that there are many versions on what led to the death of the NYSC member, it would be fair to look at another version of what happened, to be sure of what actually transpired.
“It doesn’t have to do with not trusting the process but gauge the report alongside other opinion. Then we will now be able to tell Nigerians that this is the circumstances on how she died.
“Don’t forget that the report of the NYSC has no autopsy and an independent investigation will require an autopsy and now the autopsy alongside the report will balance and it will fortify the conclusion the government will make”, he added.
