According to Rariya Reports, a Hausa News portal, the hospital vehemently refused to allow the family the use of its ambulance to transport the deceased to their hometown for burial since they could not afford to pay for the transportation.
The family had to improvise and borrow the barrow from someone and take the corpse home.
