Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike will on Thursday inaugurate a nine-man independent and investigative panel to probe the death of Greatness Olorunfemi.
The 33-year-old was on September 26 thrown out of a moving vehicle along the Maitama-Kubwa highway by suspected criminals operating what is locally known as one chance.
Reports say sympathisers rushed the victim to Maitama District Hospital, but she did not get medical assistance until she died. The hospital has since debunked the allegation.
A statement by the office of the mandate secretary, Health Service and Environment Secretariat (FCT), Dr Dolapo Fasawe and signed by the assistant director, Badiru Yakassi, said the investigative panel would be inaugurated by 10 am Thursday at the secretariat.
