On Wednesday, there was chaos on the premises of Osun State University Teaching Hospital in Osogbo, as some suspected hoodlums stormed the facility and attempted to forcefully remove a corpse that had been deposited in the hospital’s morgue.
On many motorcycles, the hoodlums arrived at the facility and ordered that a corpse brought by them on Tuesday be released without any documentation.
They became enraged when the personnel they approached, whose name could not be ascertained right away, told them they would have to fill out some paperwork, it was learned.
Unless the corpse was released to them, the hoodlums, who openly displayed charms, threatened to cause chaos.
Many hospital employees, including those who had relationships with patients in the wards and others who had business on the premises at the time of the drama, could be seen fleeing the area where the hoodlums had gathered to avoid being caught up in the chaos.

Later, armed police officers arrived at the hospital and escorted the thugs from the premises.
When contacted for comment, Dr. Babatunde Afolabi, Chairman of the Hospital’s Medical Advisory Committee, simply stated, “The matter has been rested, they have done the coroner for the corpse.” So they’ve taken the body away to be buried.”
