The Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, Nasarawa State has issued a two weeks ultimatum to relatives of nine unclaimed corpses in its morgue to claim them or they would be given mass burial.
This was contained in a statement issued by Esther Bature, the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, on Friday.
According to her, the decision by the management of the medical centre to issue the deadline was due to the fact that some of the corpses were brought in 2021 and others in 2022, thereby exceeding the time limit of six months permitted by law.
