The management of Mainland
Hospital, Lagos, says it received a
directive from the state Ministry of
Health not to release corpses of
suspected #ENDSARS protesters.
Our correspondent visited the
Mainland Hospital after the Chief
Coroner of Lagos State, Mrs.
Mojisola Dada, via a public
announcement, directed relatives who
had lost loved ones between October
19th and 27thto visit the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital to
identify and claim bodies of their
loved ones.
The #ENDSARS protests had lasted
between October 7th and 20th in
Lagos and several other states of the
federation.
While the protests lasted, relations,
friends and associates of missing
persons claimed their relations had
either been killed or held
incommunicado by security agents.
Of particular concern was the Lekki
toll gate shooting of Tuesday,
October 20, where peaceful #
ENDSARS protesters were shot at by
security agents, leading to yet-to-be
ascertained number of casualties.
The shooting incident had attracted
national and international outcry, with
the Lagos State and Federal
governments being urged to unravel
the identity of the shooters and who
deployed them.
The public notice by the Lagos State
coroner did not, however, state if the
bodies that had been scheduled for
release also included those of
persons who died during the #
EndSARS protest.
It reads in part, “This is to notify the
General Public that the Chief Coroner
of Lagos State, Hon Justice M. A.
Dada (Mrs.) pursuant to Section 15,
Coroner’s System Law of Lagos
State, 2015 the Pathology Team
would want all those who have lost
loved ones between 19th – 27th
October 2020 (that is, next-of-kin of
the victims) to provide relevant
information that would assist the
identification exercise.
“The next-of kin should kindly
contact the Department of Pathology
and Forensic Medicine, Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital
(LASUTH), Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja
for the identification exercise of the
Deceased.”
When our correspondent visited the
Mainland Hospital mortuary in Yaba,
Lagos, on Friday, the front desk staff
said there was a clear directive from
the state government for dieners
[morgue attendants] to release only
the bodies of those who died before
and after the #ENDSARS protests.
When our correspondent spoke with
the Medical Director of Mainland
Hospital, Dr. Abimbola Bowale, he
maintained what the mortuary
attendant had said.
“It is only the commissioner (of
health) or even Mr. Governor that can
release the body to you, Sir. So, you
will have to contact him,” he said.
All efforts to reach the Commissioner
of Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi; and
Director, Public Affairs at the state
health ministry, Mr. Tunbosun
Ogunbanwo, were unsuccessful.

This country self.

No life was lost. Deceit government.

But they said no body died during the protest? Confuse is confusing me right now!

...and the conspiracy continues.

No one died at Lekki tollgate, later 2 persons died and much later, no one died again.

I just dey pity Gov. Sanwo, he seems to be a man with good heart who is being forced to sign his soul away by those that play the political music he dances to.

Lekki shooting is fake news it never happened. It's a conspiracy
