A Twitter user with the username @LaseMoye, has described
the last moments before the death of Vwaere Diaso, a medical doctor at Lagos
Island General Hospital, Odan.

 

Diaso had died on Tuesday after an elevator she was in at
the general hospital, fell from the 10th floor.

 

The deceased was said to have been on her way to the ground
floor to pick up a food delivery from a dispatch rider when the incident
happened.

Moye, who also works at the hospital, said she was standing
in front of the elevator and pressed the open button but didn’t enter because
she was on a video call.

 

She said it wasn’t long after that when she heard a big
crash to the floor which made the dispatch rider who brought food for Diaso to
run out of the building.

The doctor said someone then raised the alarm that Vwaere
was in the elevator, adding that they immediately began seeking help to bring
her out of the elevator.

 

“They tried to use rods to open it, to be sure it wasn’t a
joke. They finally opened it and the sight was gruesome. Muffled sounds of
excruciating pain and agony became apparent,” she wrote.

 

“Her forehead had a horizontal cut, her mouth had another
one and she had raccoon eyes. She was lying in between the base of the elevator
and the ground floor with the engine hanging over her head which meant any
miscalculation in movement, she’ll be crushed to instant death!

 “She was literally
sandwiched in between the hanging engine and below the ground floor with blood
on broken glasses and fractured limbs. It’s not a sight to describe.”

 

‘HELP CAME AFTER 40
MINUTES’

The deceased’s colleague said engineers were called to
dismantle the elevator, noting that it took almost 40 minutes for them to
arrive.

 

“I remember telling her to relax that help is coming, she
said “Don’t tell me to relax, tell them to get me out of here”. We eventually
got her out and she kept saying she thinks she’ll die,” she wrote.

 

 “Emergency care was
almost zero and inside a hospital for that matter. There was no blood in the
hospital.

“She was eventually wheeled out but she was already weak and
kept saying ”I don’t want to die”. They commenced CPR and the finality of it
all happened.”

 

Moye explained that the elevator has been a source of
concern to the doctors for years but complaints were never attended to.

 

“I remember the last time we complained they said we should
manage that in their time they were sleeping in call rooms during their
horsemanship days and we are lucky we have water, lift and rooms to live in and
we aren’t grateful.

 

 “It’s like we are
asking for too much? They were not even giving us the barest minimum and they
shut us up when we complained.”
