Late Joy Odama of CRUTECH has had another autopsy and this happens
Meanwhile, there was a mild drama at the
National Hospital, Abuja, following the directive of the Inspector General of
Police, Ibrahim Idris, that a fresh autopsy be conducted on late Joy.
It was gathered
that during the new autopsy, a police pathologist initially alleged that the
probable cause of the death was generator fumes. However, when other
pathologists drew his attention to the chemical used in embalming the corpse,
he realigned his position with the initial result, which puts the cause of
death as cardiogenic shock secondary to diffuse myocardial infection secondary
to possible acute cocaine poisoning.
Late Joy Odama The team The consortium of
pathologists, which re-conducted the fresh autopsy on June 9 at the National
Hospital, Abuja, comprise a Police Consultant Pathologist (an Associate
Professor), the Chief Pathologist of the National Hospital and others.
Meanwhile,
late Joy’s family alleged that “there is an attempt to manipulate the result
with claims of fumes to contradict the initial result. “However, the Lead
Pathologist at the National Hospital has insisted and maintained his grounds on
the result of the first autopsy. “To further buttress our fears, the police
blatantly refused to use the already preserved specimen for toxicology, but
instead took a surface tissue of the body, which will likely not give the
desired results.”
