The National Hospital in Abuja has knocked back the claims that the corpse of popular gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, was singing ‘Ekwueme’ while in the mortuary.
Osinachi, a chorister at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, died a few months.
However some reports claimed that her corpse, deposited in the National Hospital mortuary, was singing her hit track, ‘Ekwueme’ in the middle of the night.
Reacting to the report, Spokesperson of the National Hospital, Tayo Haastrup said on Monday that: “Medically, there is nothing like that; it’s just an imagination of people. Somebody that is dead and is a corpse, how would such a person be singing in the night?
“There is no medical backup to that; it’s an imagination that may be due to the church she attended while alive, and the songs may just be giving people ideas, but there is no proof in any way. It just can’t be proven in any way.
“Somebody that is dead is dead and has become a corpse; it’s inside a morgue, it can’t sing and can’t move so it’s an imagination of people.”
On the autopsy report, Hasstrup said: “It’s a coroner case, and it’s confidential; we can’t reveal anything there. The IPO in charge will give it to the IGP, who will turn it to the court.
“The result has been submitted all the same, and our people did it confidentially.”
