The Ghana Police Service has stated that it will embark on a mass burial for about 200 unidentified and unclaimed bodies as part of the service’s routine measures to decongest the Police Hospital mortuary.
In a statement signed and issued by Head, Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, DSP Yaw Nketia-Yeboah and sighted by A1radioonline.com, it said, these unidentified and unclaimed dead bodies yet to be buried are made up of mostly paupers, unknown former patients, abandoned dead bodies, unidentified accident and crime victims.
However, the service urged the general public to contact the pathology Department of the Police Hospital if their relatives have not been seen for some time after search.
The statement said, “The general public is hereby being informed to contact the pathology Department of the Ghana Police Hospital for identification of the persons who might have not been seen for some time as part of the search. This is to avert a situation whereby such bodies are added to those earmarked for the mass burial.”
It advised the general public to acquire the habit of always having their National Identification Cards or any organizational ID cards on them to help Police and others easily identify them whenever they are in any health crises or involved in an accident.
