A yet-to-be-identified female corpse slated for burial on Saturday has gone missing from the morgue of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Ogun State.

A hospital source said the drama started on Friday when the family of the deceased came to the hospital to take the body for burial only for them to discover that the corpse was no longer in the mortuary.

The source said the body, which was brought to the morgue in October 2022, could not be found among 69 other bodies shown to the family for verification.

PUNCH Metro also learnt that two attendants in charge of the morgue fled the premises.

The source said, “The family members of the deceased came from Ijebu-Ode to Sagamu with undertakers and ambulance on January 27, 2023, to claim their corpse for burial, but were surprised to discover that the corpse was not part of the 69 bodies brought out of the morgue for verification.

“The CMD and other officials of the hospital were in a confused state as to what could have led to the disappearance of the female corpse deposited in the morgue since October last year.

“A Divisional Police Officer and his men, with other security agencies, visited the Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology Department of the hospital over the matter.”

The management of OOUTH, however, described the incident as a mix-up.

The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Oluwabunmi Fatungase, in a statement on Saturday, said the hospital was working with agents to unravel the circumstances behind the incident.

She noted that the footage from the Closed-Circuit Television camera was also being evaluated.

The CMD hinted that the hospital would go as far as conducting a DNA test to identify the corpse.

She said, “Any circumvention of the quality assurance of the hospital will not be taken lightly and necessary consequences in consonance with the public service rules will be applied on whoever is found culpable

“The present administration in Ogun State has upgraded the mortuary with modern freezers and scaled up its amenities. The mortuary services have been a preferred place for many people to keep the remains of their beloved intact until they are ready for burial.

“While apologising to the affected family for the embarrassing situation, we seek their cooperation towards the ongoing investigation. The corpse will be identified and released to them for a befitting burial soon.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he was not aware of the incident, but promised to get back to our correspondent.

He had yet to do so as of the time this report was filled.

Shukudi, when a dog bite a man, it is no news, but when man bites a dog, it becomes very interesting news. Very interesting because it is rare. The names in this case are not common to crime, so all sons of dogs are allowed to masturbate their worthless lives on it.

Meanwhile, here is a criminal case on front page for over 6 hours and barely on its second page. Guess the criminals? na "dem", it is no news any longer because it occurs at very high frequency.

BATified2023:
u mean atm are dispensing new notes but people are still queuing like this?

invinzible1:
I think you lack cognitive reasoning.

Iamgrey5:
Nobody is talking about taking money to the bank

We are talking about being given new notes In the bank.

yemmit90:
So you will use bank transfer to send money to taxi local drivers, road side huckers, at local restaurants, to mallams selling Suya, local meat sellers, etc? I don't want to believe government are doing this to curb votes buying during election, because it doesn't make any sense. Politicians are the least to suffer a shortage of new naira notes. Even ordinary rich people are getting it in abundant, let alone Politicians who have alot of friends, families and associations at CBN and other commercial banks.

Is like you'd lost touch with reality. I saw hell since yesterday despite having money in my accounts. Spents hours at banks ATMs on Saturday without getting a single naira note. Anyway, not surprise, some of you guys are kids who are still being fed by your parents.

A sensible CBN governor would've simply discourage cash transactions by making ATM dispense lower denominations, heavy charges on OTC transactions and aggressive sensitization of locals on the uses of electronic transactions. 90% of printed notes should be #100 or less, with this method, people would be forced to make electronic fransfer by themselves.

Rexxie234:

BATified2023:
so u think if others are free we will b here

I picked number 306 at atm today n this was d least, at Polaris bank atm wasn’t dispensing n people don pick number reach 278
