The mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Gusau, Zamfara State, was in the early hours of Tuesday gutted by fire. The mortuary, which is the only one being used by the hospital to keep dead bodies, was completely burnt down by the fire, which started around 3.30am.
He stated that the centre did not have any place to keep corpses at the moment, stressing that “we have to take the dead ones to other hospitals.”
Bello said the management had already written to both the Federal Ministry of Health and the state government for the urgent repair of the gutted mortuary.
He stated that the cause of the inferno had yet to be ascertained, adding that a committee had been constituted to find out how it happened.
