A pathologist with the Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital, Dr Sunday Soyemi, on Tuesday told a magistrate conducting the coroner
inquest into the controversial death of Slyvester Oromoni, a schoolboy, Mikhail
Kadiri, that his hospital lacked a toxicology laboratory.
Soyemi, who has been a pathologist since 2005 and a
Consultant since 2010, was responding to a question from the counsel for the
Oromoni family, Femi Falana, during a sitting held at the Ikeja Magistrate
Court, Lagos, on Tuesday.
During cross examination, Falana asked Soyemi, “You did say
that when you were going through the body, you found a blackish substance in
the intestine of the deceased?
The pathologist replied, “That’s correct.”
Falana pressed further, “Did you send the black substance to
a toxicologist?”
“No,” Soyemi said.
The counsel also asked, “Do you have a department of
radiology in LASUTH?”
“Yes,” the
pathologist said.
“Do you have a department of toxicology in LASUTH?” asked
Falana.
“No,” Soyemi replied.
