The family of retired
Assistant Comptroller of Fire Service, Mr. George Moses, a victim of the June 3
Dana air crash, Tuesday, raised the alarm over the whereabouts of his corpse.
Describing the alleged disappearance of the body as “insincerity” on
the part of the hospital authorities, a member of the late Moses’ family, Mr.
Achief Olajide, who spoke to journalists, alleged that in June, the name of the
victim was among the 29 identified names pasted at the Lekan Ogunsola
Memorial mortuary of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH,
Ikeja.
Brandishing documents and photographs, he said: “After the June 3
crash, we came the following day to the mortuary to identify the body. I
entered the morgue, saw Moses’ body and it was intact and he was also
identified by his ID card which was in his wallet.
”We were asked to wait at the hall for briefing. Professor John Obafuwa
brought out the list of identifiable bodies which was up to 29 names. My
uncle’s name was number 22 on the list.
“The professor asked us to bring the photograph of the deceased. We brought
the photograph, but the professor changed his word that the deceased’s body
cannot be released again that they were going for DNA testing. After two
months, we were called that the result was out.”
No word from LASUTH
Efforts to contact LASUTH officials for comment proved abortive.
