Lagos Assembly sets up committee to probe elevator accident.

The Lagos State House of Assembly inaugurated an eight-member committee to probe an elevator accident at Odan General Hospital, Lagos Island, claiming the life of doctor Diaso Vwaere.

The House’s Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, disclosed this during plenary on Friday, August 4, while promising that justice would be served.

The committee, inaugurated on Thursday, August 3, would be headed by Deputy Speaker of the House Mojisola Meranda, and the investigations would last for two weeks.

“The eight-man committee, to be headed by the Deputy Speaker, Mrs Mojisola Meranda, includes Mr David Setonji, Mr Lara Oyekan, Mr Olayinka Ajomale, Mr Shabi Adekola, Mrs Omolara Olumegbon, Mr Akanbi Oluwa and Mr Olarenwaju Afinni.

“They are mandated to report their findings to the House in two weeks. The pain that the loss of the medical doctor would bring to her immediate family is unimaginable. It is saddening to lose such a young promising daughter,” Obasa said.

Vwaere died on Tuesday, August 1, when the elevator at the hospital staff quarters crashed from the ninth floor to the ground with her in it.

The deceased, who graduated from Babcock University, was said to be undergoing her mandatory one-year Housemanship at the hospital with less than two weeks to complete the programme at the time of her death.

Vwaere did not die immediately after the crash, though she was stuck in the elevator for about an hour before engineers arrived.

“In light of this tragedy, I have taken immediate action to initiate a thorough investigation into the cause of the mechanical failure. I sincerely commit that this investigation will be conducted with utmost transparency and fairness, leaving no room for biases or favouritism,” Sanwo-Olu noted.
