The Management of Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Keffi says it is giving a two-weeks ultimatum to relatives of 21 unclaimed corpses in its morgue to come and claim them or they will be disposed of.
This was contained in a statement by Esther Bature, the Head of Public Relations/Protocol and obtained by our correspondent on Thursday.
According to her, the decision by the management of the centre to issue the deadline is because some of the copses have exceeded the six months permitted by law to remain in the morgue.
She said: “They now constitute a potential health hazard for 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, however, maintained that at the expiration of the two-week deadline effective from Tuesday, November 5, 2024 the medical centre would be left with no any alternative than to evacuate and dispose the bodies.
