According to the account narrated to TheNewsGuru.com, TNG, by her church member, the lawyer had in a chat told a neighbour that she was not feeling too healthy.
The neighbour opposite her apartment simply advised her to visit the hospital but due to the lockdown last Thursday it was believed she couldn’t risk it.
By Sunday her neighbour discovered that her door had remained closed and a stench was emitting from her room, he immediately suspected something was amiss and he alerted the landlord.
The matter was reported at the Kubwa police station and her decomposed body was taken to the Kubwa General Hospital.
But on getting to the hospital, her body was rejected and the landlord and her church member was advised to move her corpse to Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital.
The landlord was advised by the police to hire an ambulance to evacuate the corpse to Gwagwalada.
At Gwagwalada Specialist, the corpse was deposited at the morgue and the hospital authority said an autopsy cannot be conducted because of the Covid -19 pandemic.
The Chamber where she practices law was contacted and they in turn contacted her family in Abia state.
The other two cases are that of two middle aged men who slumped and died in Kubwa and their corpses were rejected at Kubwa General Hospital over same excuse that since there was a pandemic corpses from homes cannot be accepted.
The families of the deceased were referred to Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital.
