The Lagos State Government has said that it had set up a panel of inquiry to look into the conditions surrounding the incident and promised to sanction anyone found culpable.

The investigation became imperative following the death of a medical officer undergoing horsemanship, Dr. Vwaere Diaso, died after an elevator she was in crashed at the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island on Tuesday.

Recall that Diaso was in the elevator on her way to get her food from a dispatch rider when the elevator falls off the ten story building.

She was later rushed to the emergency ward of the hospital where she was confirmed dead.

Her death sparked a protest at the hospital on Wednesday as her colleagues besieged the premises and grounded activities there.

The protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as, “I don’t want to die,” “Doctors’ lives matter,” “Justice for Vwaere,” “The system failed you, Diaso,” and “Here is Vwaere Diaso, she didn’t have to die for us to get it right.”

Diaso’s protesting colleagues expressed their displeasure over the death of their colleague while accusing the hospital management of negligence.
