•Losing our babies at birth saddening, claiming them for burial’ll worsen our grief – Bereaved parents
Besides, the advert indicated that out of the 42 corpses, 15 bodies were without next-of-kin, 16 bodies are without phone numbers of those who stood as their next-of-kin, some of the 26 phone numbers given were non-existent, wrong or perhaps re-allocated by the telecoms operators, thus making tracing a tough task.
“The baby’s father ran away leaving me and my husband to be responsible. My husband, who helped us then, is now dead. To raise money is now difficult. Even with the 90 days deadline that the hospital gave, money is still the problem.” Also, a police officer who served at Otun Ekiti in the Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Sule Dogara, but now in Damaturu, Yobe State, expressed surprise when called by our correspondent that the body of 30-year-old Sunday Emmanuel, deposited at facility’s morgue on July 21, 2018, was still there even though there was no court case over it.
“The corpse is still there because the man did not do the necessary thing. I wonder how somebody would die three years ago and his people are aware yet refuse to claim his corpse. There is no court case over the death.’’For Mr Oluwaseun Adeoye, father of Baby Adeoye who died 23 hours after delivery, it was sad to lose one of his set of twins soon after birth on November 5, 2019.
“I didn’t even know the dead bodies could still be there. I thought the hospital would have done something about it since. But nevertheless, as I said earlier, there is nothing we can do about it. Ayodele stated that immediately the accident happened, he rushed the victim to the General Hospital, Oye Ekiti, from where they referred to FETHI and from there, he was referred to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State. He added that the victim died while they were preparing papers for treatment.
