There was a mild protest on Monday at the Ibadan Central hospital in Oyo state as family of a 91-year- old woman who died in the hospital accused them of tampering with her corpse.
The deceased identified as Rachel Oshuntolu was admitted in the hospital over a week ago but died on Sunday morning.
The hospital is located at Ososami area of Ibadan.
Some children of the nonagenarian explained that they left the hospital at around 8pm in the evening of Sunday with the plan of taking the corpse to a morgue this morning. They said they were all surprised when they saw sprinkles of blood on the floor of the room where the corpse was kept, while some pounds of flesh on the woman’s forehead and arm had been removed.
Reacting to the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP. Adewale Osifeso said he was yet to be briefed on the issue.
However, the divisional police officer of Iyaganku and his team were on ground to prevent the breakdown of law and order
