The
82-year-old woman, Alhaja Mistura Ahmodu, who was rescued from a
three-storey building that collapsed on Swamp Street, Lagos Island, on
Wednesday, is dead.
Her granddaughter,
Shukura Ishola, told PUNCH Metro
on Thursday she died around 5pm on Wednesday at the Lagos Island
General Hospital, alleging that medical personnel at the hospital did not
attend to her immediately they got there.
Ahmodu
had been placed on oxygen and rushed to the hospital after she was rescued from
the rubble on the fateful day around 2pm which was five hours after the
building had collapsed.
Shukura
said: “The doctors in that hospital did not take care of her on time. We were
told to buy some drugs and they abandoned her. My brother and I went to get the
drugs. When we came back with the drugs around 3.30pm, grandma was still
alive.”
Shukura's
father also said:
“She
spoke with us around 4pm. She said she was thirsty and a doctor told us to buy
a bottle of drink, which she drank. We were preparing an X-ray on her thigh
when everything changed. She died at about 5pm. She was well taken care of at
the hospital. She was 82.”
May
her soul rest in Peace.
