The hospital’s spokesman, Dr Tayo Haastrup, said on Saturday that: ``we had earlier released only one body but in the last two days, we have released five more bodies to family members of the deceased.

``We are left with one body and it will be released to the family members after proper identification,’’ Haastrup said.

He said two women were still on admission in the hospital and hoped that they would be discharged soon.
