Another source said, “She entered the elevator at the doctors’ quarters to collect her food from a dispatch rider who was waiting for her downstairs.

“She was in the elevator when it crashed from the 10th floor to the ground. She was rushed to the emergency ward where she passed away. We have been complaining about this malfunctioning elevator for the past one year and nothing was done about it.”

As of the time of filing this report, no official statement from the hospital management was  released while all calls to the hospital contact number on 08104982407 were unanswered.

Meanwhile, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has mourned the passing of  Diaso, describing her death as shocking and a colossal loss to the health sector in the state and Nigeria as a whole.

Sanwo-Olu, in a statement on his verified social media handles yesterday, said he had taken immediate action to initiate a thorough investigation into the cause of the ugly incident.

He  commiserated with the deceased family, friends and colleagues, particularly the Nigeria Medical Association, Medical Guild, doctors, and healthcare professionals in Lagos State.

 

He said: “I was deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of Dr. Vwaere Diaso, a dedicated medical professional whose life was taken due to a mechanical failure within the elevator at the Doctors’ quarters of the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island. It is distressing to think that such a promising young doctor had her life cut short in such a devastating manner.

 

“As a parent myself, I cannot help but feel the pain and sorrow that Dr. Diaso’s loved ones must be experiencing during this difficult time. My heart goes out to her parents, family members, friends, and colleagues who are grieving this profound loss.

 

“To the Nigeria Medical Association, the Medical Guild, and all doctors in Lagos State, I extend my deepest sympathies. Losing a fellow healthcare professional is a tremendous loss for the entire medical community.

 

“In the light of this tragedy, I have taken immediate action to initiate a thorough investigation into the cause of the mechanical failure. It is my sincere commitment that this investigation will be conducted with utmost transparency and fairness, leaving no room for any biases or favoritism.’’
