Ms Usman is the second nurse from the school to testify in the ongoing coroner’s inquest to unravel the cause of death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni in Ikeja on Monday.
The nurse, who joined the school on September 4, 2021, on a full-time basis, was asked if she knew the deceased during cross-examination.According to the school nurse who works from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, she only got to know about the student upon his demise. Sunday Soyemi, the Acting Chief Medical Examiner of Lagos State, carried out the second autopsy, which Mr Eze witnessed.
The pathologist said he was not aware of the videos and pictures he took during the autopsy that captured any blackish substance in the intestine of the deceased. “There is a difference between physical examination and clinical examination of patients. Physical examination is the head to toe examination of patients when they visit hospitals,” Mr Eze said.
