September 24, (THEWILL) – Senator Ned Nwoko has said that he hopes to introduce a bill that will make it mandatory nationwide to carry out an autopsy on a corpse within a specific time before it is buried.
Noting that the untimely death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, had raised many issues that should be addressed promptly, Nwoko said the circumstances surrounding his death and that of other people should not be left to speculation.
“As a matter of fact, I hope to introduce a bill that will make it mandatory nationwide for an autopsy to be done within a specific time before anyone is buried and the cost of such reports must be paid by the governments (local and state governments).
“The cause of death of anyone should not be left to the wild imaginations of people. The innocent should be protected and the guilty punished. Situations like this give rise to new laws for the good governance of the country.
“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 reported to the station for clearance before he was buried,’’ he said.
This development is coming on the heels of the death of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka MohBad who died on September 12 at the age of 27 in Lagos.
