The Lagos State Police has arrested 2 mortuary attendants and 5
others, over complaints of a missing corpse. Lagos State Police
Commissioner Imohimi Edgal, who paraded the suspects before
newsmen at the command headquarters in Ikeja, disclosed that on
Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2018 the Command received a complaint from
one Anthony Lawani, younger brother to one Mary Ehinlaiye, now
deceased, aged 51 years.
NAN reported that body parts of the deceased were sliced off by
yet-to-be identified persons. Investigation by the police, revealed
that the corpse was deposited at St. Raphael’s Devine Mercy
Specialist Hospital Mortuary along Ijede Road, Ikorodu, Lagos for
preservation.
“Based on the complaint, I directed the Deputy Commissioner of
Police, SCIID, Panti, Yaba to investigate the matter. “However,
one Olusesi Owamade, aged 41 years, a mortuary attendant, with
the approval of his supervisor, Michael Olusegun, aged 65 years,
erroneously released the corpse
to another family.
“When the relations of the deceased woman came for the release
of the corpse for burial, it was nowhere to be found. “At this
juncture, it dawned on the mortuary attendants that they had
released the corpse to the wrong persons.
“To recover the corpse, five grave diggers working at Sabo
Cemetery, Ikorodu were contracted by the mortuary attendants
to exhume the corpse for onward handover to its owners,” he
said.
The Police Boss further disclosed that the suspects who were
arrested over the missing corpse, conspired among themselves and
dismembered the body of the deceased by cutting off the two
wrists and heart for a yet-to-be determined reason.
“Investigation into this case is in progress, while efforts are on to
arrest one of the grave diggers named Anifowoshe, who is
currently at large.
“The case will be charged to court and case file forwarded to the
Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal
advice,” he said.
