During the sitting, the hospital’s lawyer, Taiwo Osipitan (SAN), argued that there was confusion over which party was meant to file first and requested permission to seek an autopsy and access to medical records.
The court rejected the request, noting that the issue of postmortem had already been decided.
The magistrate stressed that the inquest must proceed without further delay and is aimed at establishing facts around the death.
The matter was adjourned to May 5, May 20, and June 3, 2026, for continuation of hearings.
