-Liberia Embassy in Abuja mounts search in Lagos for deceased who went to hospital malnourished and sick
Abuja- The Liberian Embassy in Nigeria is in search of the relatives of Miss Kadiatu Barry, a Liberian citizen who died in Ikotun, Lagos, Nigeria, a statement said here on Tuesday.
According to a South African only identified as Frauline, who contacted the Embassy, Miss Barry was unable to talk due to malnutrition and sickness and was taken to the Igondo Hospital, where she died on the 22nd of December, 2018, just a day shy of her 31st birthday.
A press statement from the Liberian mission on January 8, 2018 said, the only available information from the contact person is that the deceased, prior to her death, had claimed to be engaged to a whiteAmerican citizen and had lived in Uganda for 6 years prior to coming to Lagos.
She was said to be born in Guinea but later relocated to Liberia, the source further informs.
Meanwhile, the hospital has said it will keep the remains of the late Ms. Barry for 3 months maximum (with almost a month already gone) and if no family member is found within the specified time, it will be left with no other alternative but to conduct a mass burial on her remains.
In view of the above, the Embassy solicits the assistance of the general public of the need to trace and inform her relatives in Liberia and elsewhere as the case may be.
