Godfrey Okoye College (GOUNI), Enugu, has given groups of 33 carcasses deserted in its emergency clinic morgue 21 days to empty them, bombing which the bodies would be given mass entombment.
A portion of the cadavers had been in the morgue for over 18 years.
Bad habit Chancellor of the college, Prof. Christian Anieke, told a news meeting in Enugu on Sunday that the final offer, given on Nov. 13 became important to empower the college to redesign the funeral home.
GOUNI is possessed by the Catholic Ward of Enugu. It as of late changed over and redesigned one of its clinics facilitating the morgue to act as the varsity’s clinical instructing medical clinic.
Anieke said the redesign and updating would make the morgue a fitting one for an instructing clinic.
“We have gotten a court directive to do the mass entombment of the 33 deserted cadavers in our showing emergency clinic funeral home.
“A portion of the cadavers have been in the morgue for over 18 years and it is very difficult as we need to redesign and make the medical clinic a befitting one for a showing clinic,” he said.
While affirming obliviousness of what could be liable for the extended stay of the cadavers, he thought that some presumably had no relations or they were hoodlums.
“I’m interesting to the people who have carcasses in the morgue to come and eliminate them.
“We are discussing individuals here and not creatures. Proceed to check in the event that your relationship is there,” he counseled.
Anieke added that in Igbo custom, families need to give a befitting entombment to the departed.
“‘It is trusted that on the off chance that the dead are not given befitting entombment it will have awful results on the family,” he said.
In his comments, the Main Clinical Head of the showing clinic, Prof. Cajetan Nwadinigwe, expressed a significant number of the cadavers didn’t have unofficial IDs, while around 14 of them bore a similar name.
He said there were no records of dates where a portion of the carcasses were saved at the funeral home, while it was clear that some had been there for over 10 years.
“This is our premise of moving toward the court and promoting the admonition in papers so that families might be able to see,” Nwadinigwe said.
