There was chaos yesterday at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo when thugs stormed the health facility to demand the unconditional release of some corpses to them.
Information from Osogbo say that the thugs forced their way into the hospital on Wednesday morning and made an attempt to take away the corpses of their colleagues.
The hospital management was said to have pleaded with them to wait for the arrival of security agents before the corpses would be released but they shunned the plea and forcefully entered the morgue.
A staff member of the hospital told newsmen on the conditions of anonymity said the thugs maintained that they would not pay nor wait for any security agent to arrive before helping themselves.
The hoodlums were armed with different types of dangerous weapons, including cutlasses, matchetes, clubs, and bottles to scare away workers in the hospital.
Some patients and their relatives reportedly fled the health centre after seeing the manner in which the hoodlums came. Many took cover, as the as the armed men laid siege on the facility.
However, the Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee Uniosun Teaching hospital, Dr Babatunde Afolabi while confirming the development, said the matter has been resolved.
According to him, the bodies in question have as well been taken out of the hospital
