Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Lagos father on Friday asked a coroner handling the inquisition into the death of his 12-year-old son to order a second autopsy into the death of the child.<\/p>\n

The child died on September 9 following a corrective surgery conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.<\/p>\n

His small intestines were reported to have gone missing leading to an earlier autopsy and a coroner\u2019s inquest.<\/p>\n

The inquest is presided over by a Chief Magistrate, Mrs Bola Folarin-Williams, the District Coroner.<\/p>\n

Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), counsel to the bereaved father submitted an application on Friday at the court requesting that a second autopsy be conducted by an independent pathologist.<\/p>\n

He submitted that the deceased\u2019s father was not satisfied with the first autopsy conducted as he was not present and had no knowledge of when it was carried out.<\/p>\n

Adegboruwa appealed to the coroner to grant the order for the second autopsy and said a letter had been written to the Nigeria Medical Association in respect of the autopsy.<\/p>\n

He also pleaded that the Lagos State Government should offset the autopsy and mortuary fees on the deceased as both parents are Lagos State indigenes.<\/p>\n

Responding, Mr Akin George, counsel to Lagos State Government argued that the state government should not be compelled to pay for the second autopsy.<\/p>\n

He submitted that Lagos State government had continued to pay the mortuary fees and also paid for the first autopsy.<\/p>\n

After hearing the submissions, the coroner ordered an immediate and independent autopsy on the deceased and adjourned further hearing to Dec. 15. (NAN)<\/p>\n
