The Management of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) says it has concluded plans to dispose all unclaimed corpses that have been in the hospital mortuary for a very long time.
The hospital, in a statement, said the corpses in question include those of infants that have been in the mortuary since January 2023 and corpses of adults that have been in the mortuary from April 2021.
It gave owners of such corpses a period of six weeks to claim their corpse(s) as they would otherwise be disposed through mass burial or any other manner considered appropriate.
