Scores of people, who died in Jos twin explosion dating back to
May 20 were secretly buried yesterday as the Plateau State government
was not able to preserve the unclaimed corpses in the hospital
mortuaries.
While there was no official announcement about the burial, the
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) official and the Plateau
Specialist Hospital director confirmed the information to Premium Times.
According to the data provided, the explosion victims were buried along
Maingo road in Jos South LGA.
It would be recalled that two days ago we filed the report about the
fact that the hospitals’ mortuaries were not sufficient enough to keep
all the corpses and that some of them, mostly women and children, were
spotted lying on the floor.
The alarm over importance to conduct mass burial was allegedly raised
on Friday, after the corpses had decayed causing putrid smell in the
area near the Specialist Hospital. According to the sources, in fear of
possible danger and health implications it was decided to bury the
bodies.
The Executive Secretary of SEMA Alhasan Barde revealed that another mass burial would be carried out on Monday.
