The family of Bamise Ayanwola, a 22-Year old lady, who was found dead with body parts mutilated after boarding the state-owned Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) recently, has rejected the planned autopsy by the Lagos State Government.
Counsel to the Ayanwola family, Ayo Ademiluyi, said in a statement that the family has rejected the autopsy speedily arranged by the Police for today .
The statement quoted the family as saying that they cannot entrust the Bamise’s body to the Pathologist of the Lagos State Government.
Ademiluyi disclosed that the family will be submitting a letter to the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) tomorrow, adding that the family has identified three Professors of Pathology that would be assembled as the team of Pathologists to carry out an autopsy on behalf of the family.
The statement read in part, “We cannot entrust Bamise’s body to the Pathologist of Lagos State Government.
“We will be submitting a letter to the State CID tomorrow as we now have details of three Professors of Pathology who we are assembling as our team of Pathologists. We will also be demanding two weeks period for the purpose of autopsy.”
He disclosed that a detailed press statement will be issued soon while a press conference will hold on Friday.
“Lagos State Government is a party that is meant to be investigated in this murder and cannot be a Judge in its own case by appointing a Pathologist for us,” he added.
