Twenty-nine families of those that lost their lives in the 21-storey collapsed building on Gerald Road, Ikoyi, Lagos have submitted samples for DNA.
This is to enable them to identify bodies that they wish to claim. “In cases where identification is clear and there are no arguments, the bodies will be released to the families as from this week,” Gbenga Omotoso, Lagos State.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, has said.
The identification of bodies of the victims of the Ikoyi building collapse is being done at the IDH, Yaba, Lagos Mainland.
Omotoso said a committee to supervise the identification and release of the bodies has been set up.
This committee, he said, comprises senior officials of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice.
“At the site, the operation continues. It will go on until the site is cleared and nobody is left in the rubble of the collapsed 21-storey edifice.
“The Panel of Inquiry set up by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to find out why the building went down and suggest ways of stopping such incidents has continued its sittings. It is collecting documents that may help unravel the mystery of the collapsed building,” the commissioner added.
