was serving with the Kwara State Broadcasting Corporation,Radio Kwara,

A member of staff ofRadio Kwara, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
told firstclass newsline on Tuesday that the corps member was found
dead on Sunday night in Ilorin.

had gone to the Kwara State Shopping Mall on Fate Road on Saturday and
did not return home.
He added that the corpse of the corps member was found on Sunday night
around GRA Ilorin.
According to him, Idowu was an indigene of Ogun State, but lived in
Lagos State before she came to serve in Kwara.
The Kwara State NYSC Public Relations Officer, Mr. Oladipo Morakinyo,
confirmed the death of the corps member.
He said death was a natural phenomenon, adding that the state NYSC had
contacted the deceased's family.
Morakinyo said, "It is only the medical expert that can diagnose what
actually killed her and this is beyond the scope of our scheme. The
most important thing is that a corps member died; the NYSC has done
the necessary thing that we are expected to do; we have contacted the
family."
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi Okesanmi, also
confirmed the death of the corps member.
He stated that the corpse would be released to the family, adding that
investigation into the cause of her death had already commenced.
Mr ajayi however said he could not confirm the cause of Idowu's death,
but said no part of the corps member's body was missing.
He also said that it was most unlikely that she was raped, adding that
investigations so far conducted on the corpse did not reveal a case of
rape.
Okesanmi said, "We are still investigating. We cannot conclusively say
it is a case of abduction or ritual killing because no part of her
body was missing. All the parts of her body were intact. It could be a
case of a hit-and-run or an auto accident.
"I can't confirm that she was raped because all the examinations
conducted on her did not show any sign of rape, but we are still
investigating.
"Nobody has volunteered any statement to us. If anybody has any useful
information, such a person should get in touch with the police.
"As far as we are concerned, it was a reported case of 'found dead'
with a broken skull and bruises."
