The growing number of unclaimed corpses on Lagos roads is a source of concern for the state government. Over 177 corpses were picked up by the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit in the last few months, with most found on major roads such as the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, Ikorodu Road, and Mile 2. The cause of the growing number of unclaimed corpses may be due to the rejection of corpses by public mortuaries in state hospitals, which are filled to the brim and have corpses dumped on top of each other.
