“I will introduce a bill that will make it mandatory for an autopsy to be done before a person is buried.”
“The unfortunate and untimely death of mohbad has raised many issues that should be addressed promptly. The circumstances of his de th and the cause of de th should not be left to speculations. The police and the dss should wade in immediately but more importantly the state government should order for an autopsy report without further formalities.
“This should have been done and report to the station for clearance before he was bried. As a matter of fact I hope to introduce a bill that will make it mandatory nation wide for an autopsy to be done within a specific time before anyone is b ried and the cost. of such reports must be paid by the governments. (Local governments and states).
The cause ofdeath of anyone should not be left to the wild imaginations of people. The innocent should be protected and the guilty pushed. Situations like this gives rise to new laws for the good governance of the country.”
Ned Nwoko’s decision comes in the wake of reports that the government will exhume Mohbad’s body for a comprehensive autopsy.
If this bill is enacted, it will ensure that deaths involving foul play are thoroughly investigated.
