By Management of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Keffi says it is giving a two-week ultimatum to relatives of the 21 unclaimed corpses in its morgue to come and claim them or the corpses would be disposed of.
A statement issued by FMC Head of Public Relations/Protocol, Miss Esther Bature and made available to newsmen in Keffi local government area of Nasarawa state on Tuesday gave the ultimatum.
According to Bature, management of the centre issued the deadline because some of the corpses had exceeded the six months permitted by law to remain in the morgue.
“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 said.
