The Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, KWASUTH, Ilorin, has decided to embark on mass burial of unclaimed corpses abandoned at the hospital’s mortuary by relatives.
This is due to the congestion at the hospital’s mortuary, a statement by the Head Corporate Affairs Unit of the facility, Yakubu Kamaldeen Aliagan, stated in Ilorin on Sunday.
The management complained that its mortuary is filled beyond capacity with no available space due to unclaimed bodies.
“The management, therefore, implores the general public to come and retrieve the bodies of their relatives and loved ones within the next two weeks from the time of this announcement, after which the management will consider decongestion through mass burial.
