Dr. Soyemi, a consultant pathologist, Dr. Sunday Soyemi at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital presented a report of postmortem of the deceased Sylvester Oromini on Tuesday.
Dr. Soyemi said,"Before I started the autopsy the doctor who conducted the first autopsy was present. So I observed the autopsy wasn't properly done. For example at the first autopsy, the pathologist never opened the oesophagus (which is the food pipe).
He also did not open the trachea (which is the air pipe through which we breath). This are vital things that he shouldn't have missed out. He also refered to his report claming chemical intoxication, for one to be intoxicated with chemical that chemical has to pass through the oesophagus.
Dr. Soyemi affirms that it could never had been any chemical intoxication if it didn't near the oesophagus.
He also stated that the first pathologist didn't detached the lungs from the heart. He said," If he had done that the weight alone will tell you something is wrong with the lungs. I would say he did a botched autopsy".
Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, faulted the evidence of the pathologist. He said, "His autopsy is self explanatory. Your Lordship has allowed the witness speak authoritatively of a document that have not been tendered. We therefore urge your honour to stop the witness move by the DPP".
The Coroner, Mr. Kadiri disagreed with objection of Mr Falana, however requested that the documents be served to the counsel.
However, some of the counsel insisted that they don't want to be part of any potential and sensitive document.
Mr. Falana queried some observations in the evidence report done by the pathologist.
He asked "Don't you think the blackish substance in the intestine of the deceased should have been taken to a toxicology laboratory in view that the deceased was poisoned?"
He responded that the blackish substance was not poison but could be anything.
Dr. Soyemi claims that if there was any harmful chemical substance in the body there would have been a form of bruise and a lining.
However, several examination where done by the counsel.
The Coroner Magistrate Kadiri adjourned the case to 14th of February 2022 for further investigation.
