FMC Keffi issues two-week ultimatum to relatives of unclaimed corpses
The management of the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, Nasarawa State, has issued a two-week ultimatum to relatives of unclaimed corpses in its morgue to claim them or they would be disposed of.
This is contained in a statement by Miss Esther Bature, Head of Public Relations/Protocol of the centre, Esther Bature, to journalists in Keffi on Tuesday.
Ms Bature said that some of the corpses had exceeded the six months permitted by law to remain in the morgue, hence the decision of the management to issue the deadline.
She said, “They now constitute a potential health hazard to the hospital and its immediate environs. We, therefore, call on members of the public who have missing relatives to visit the hospital’s morgue for possible identification and collection of such corpses.’’
She stated that at the expiration of the two-week deadline, effective from Tuesday, November 5, the medical centre would be left with no option than to evacuate and dispose of the bodies.
