Tension engulfed atmosphere at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo on Wednesday as hoodlums invaded the premises to demand for the corpse they earlier dumped at the morgue on Tuesday.
It was gathered that the hoodlums, who arrived on motorcycles had on Tuesday dumped the corpse of one of them killed in Osogbo at the hospital.
They demanded the corpse be released to them without any documentation.
Crisis became intense when the personnel they approached, whose name could not be immediately ascertained, told them they would have to fill some documents. The thugs became infuriated at the point.
The hoodlums, who openly displayed charms, threatened to cause chaos, unless the corpse was released to them.

Many staff of the hospital, relations with patients in the wards and others that had business on the premises nwhen the drama was going on, could be seen retreating from the area, where the hoodlums had gathered to avoid being caught in the melee.
Some armed police operatives later arrived the hospital and forced the hoodlums out of the premises.
When contacted for reaction, Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee of the Hospital, Dr. Babatunde Afolabi, simply said, “The matter has been rested, they have done the coroner for the corpse. So, they have taken the body out for burial.”
