Just because it sounds unbelievable! So who has the guts to carry a dead body from the morgue except the person is a coroner? Na wa!
It was on saturday at the Ade Maternity Home, Sagamu, Ogun State. Grieving students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University forcefully removed
the corpses of their colleagues who were killed in a car crash the previous
day from the hospital’s morgue.
The
management of the hospital had wanted to collect N20,000 per corpse
before the corpses could be released to their families.
This actually pissed off the
students who later stormed the private hospital’s morgue and evacuated their
dead colleagues forcefully without paying a dime, and moved them to the
morgue of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu.
The police had an exhausting time trying to keep the students under control.
Head of the teaching hospital’s Morbid
Anatomy and Histopathology Department, Dr Deji Agboola, said the
corpses were traced to Ade Maternity Home their colleagues had combed
private morgues in Sagamu.
He also confirmed that the angry students did
not yield to the demand for payment by the hospital before the corpses
of their colleagues were released to them.
A source at the hospital also confirmed that the corpses had been taken away.
The Ogun State police command on
Saturday said eight students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago
Iwoye, were among the 12 victims of the car crash which occurred on
Friday at Ilishan Junction, along Sagamu/Benin Expressway.
In the accident, a DAF truck with number
plate BDG 779 XE laden with container had a head-on collision with a
Mazda commercial bus with number plate XV 311 MUS, killing 12 occupants
in the bus instantly.
The victims were five females and seven males.
The state police spokesman, Muyiwa
Adejobi, said this on Saturday that eight
students of OOU were among the victims.
Giving further details, he said three of
them were pre-degree students, while the only survivor is a 300-level
Chemistry student of the institution.
Quite sad, May their souls rest in Peace!
