A medical doctor, Dr. Vwaere Diaso, has reportedly died on Tuesday after an elevator she took crashed.
According to The PUNCH, she was said to have died at the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island.
It was reported that the hospital elevator that killed the late Diaso crashed from the 10th floor to the ground floor.
According to the reports, she was reportedly rushed to the emergency ward before she was eventually pronounced dead.
While speaking with journalists, a colleague of the deceased who pleaded anonymity stated that the elevator had malfunctioned several times before now.
“On multiple occasions, the elevator has stopped while we were inside. And there’s no maintenance,” he said.
The source also disclosed that the hospital management is aware of the state of the elevator but failed to repair it.
“We report every time. The elevator is supposed to carry 630kg maximum, that’s eight people.
“Once you open the elevator and see two people already, you just have to wait for the next batch.”
“It was faulty and they knew about it. That’s why we’re not going to take this,” the source stated.
The source added that the deceased Diaso had two weeks left to complete her housemanship at the hospital and described her as a “very diligent house officer.”
