At the commencement of the procedure, the remains of Adegoke packed in a body bag was brought out of the morgue and taken out in an ambulance to Radiation Room, where an x-ray was done.

The body was later returned to the mortuary, as a team of pathologists commenced the post mortem after they had analysed the clothing that the deceased wore last before his death.
