Unbelievable!!! Bayelsa Hospital Drags 121 Dead Bodies To Court

Okay this is a sad reality…the problem of unclaimed corpses. A mild drama played out at the Federal High Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Wednesday, when the court clerk read out a case between the Federal Medical Centre, Ovom in Yenagoa and 121 unclaimed corpses.

Lawyers and those who were in the courtroom were still in shock when Justice Ajiya Nganjiwa sought to douse the jolted occupants of the courtroom.

“Now everybody is afraid because they have mentioned corpses,” the judge joked.

But the lawyer to FMC, Bayelsa, Mr. K. Clement, prayed the court to grant his 14-paragraph application requesting that the hospital should be given the go-ahead to give the unclaimed corpses a mass burial.

*I wonder why someone will die for months and there would be no way to contact relations about it.
