A statement issued by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, to NAN said that 11 families had showed up at Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre (LSD&FC) for testing and only nine families had been matched.

“On July 5, 2018, samples from the incident were picked up by LSD&FC staff from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Forensic Pathologist, under secured chain of custody.

“Reference DNA profiles were generated at LSD&FC from representative family members and compared to the DNA profiles generated from the victims’ samples received from the Forensic Pathologist.

“Based on the DNA analysis performed at LSD&FC, all victim samples were successfully matched to relatives’ samples.

“Nine bodies have been successfully matched to nine families, out of the 11 families that showed up at LSD&FC.

“They are now ready to be handed over to the rightful families for necessary burial arrangements.”

“Collection of the remains would commence from 10.00am July 28 at the Seminar Room of the Pathology & Forensic Medicine Department of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

The commissioner said that this was the first time unidentified victims of a mass disaster had been successfully identified locally using DNA technology.

He said that the identification process was completed in less than four weeks after the incident as against over six months when the practice was to take samples abroad for analysis.
