The Lagos State Police Command announced on Saturday that three people had been detained in connection with the death of a medical practitioner, Vwaere Diaso, at the General Hospital in Odan, Lagos-Island, last Tuesday.
According to Benjamin Hundeyin, a spokesman for the Command, the three suspects are presently being held in the Panti State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
“Three people in our custody at the SCID,” Hundeyin said. He did not, however, identify the identities of the suspects.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has said that the installer of a faulty elevator that claimed the life of the doctor has been handed over to the police for interrogation.
In a statement on Friday, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Strategy in the state, Olumide Sogunle, said an inquiry has commenced into the accident.
The investigation panel will submit a report of its initial findings on Saturday, Sogunle said.
Similarly, the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has declared an indefinite strike in three hospitals over the death of their colleague.
