By Our Reporter
That former Nigerian boxer, Jeremiah ‘Jerry’ Okorodudu is dead is no longer news. What is perhaps news is that a private hospital in Lawanson, Lagos has seized his corpse on account of N600,000 debt incurred while receiving treatment for foot ulcer and stroke.
That Okorodudu’s corpse was seized was revealed by his wife, Adenike
She said “the hospital was not willing to release my husband’s corpse until the outstanding N600,000 medical bill is paid.
“He is dead now but we still need to pay N600,000 to get his body out of the hospital,” said Adenike
Okorodudu who died at the age of 64 had recovered from the ailments until recently when the ailments relapsed.
He had been transferred to different hospitals, before he finally breathed his last at the Lawanson hospital.
