THE mother of the Guyanese nurse who passed away at a hospital in India is very baffled about issues surrounding her daughter’s death.

Consequently, Morlyn Scipio is pleading for answers into what she deems the mystifying demise of Abiola Solomon, 37, who left Guyana five years ago to further her studies and become a doctor of medicine.
Scipio, tearfully, related to the Guyana Chronicle that, last Friday, she received a call from the Indian High Commission in Guyana, telling her of the receipt of a photograph and death certificate of the deceased which were faxed here after the post mortem was conducted at the Indian hospital.
She said the picture given her was certainly not of her daughter, as there was no way the latter could have died of cancer as the documentation indicated, because she never suffered from that ailment.
Scipio said she gave the Indian High Commission officials a full body photograph of her daughter for proper verification, since the one they produced was of a woman in a coffin who looked like a total stranger.
She said her daughter’s husband, Austine Molar, a Nigerian living in India, told her, recently, that he has not buried his wife as yet, which caused her to think there was a certain mix- up with the death certificate and photograph that were sent from the hospital in India.
On July 10, 2013, Scipio told this newspaper that her son-in-law had contacted the family three days before with the death news.

FOUL PLAY
Relatives were alleging foul play in the woman’s demise as they had received reports that Molar dumped the body at the hospital and the family was given three days to remove it or risk disposal of the corpse.
Scipio said she was informed that Molar telephoned her ex-husband, Leyland Solomon, who is a very wealthy pastor in the United States (U.S.), three weeks before her daughter’s death and demanded US$50,000 and when he enquired of the purpose for such a large sum, the man making the demand rudely retorted: “You are a pastor that travels around the world. You have the money. Just send it!”
The refusal was met with obscenities from the Nigerian who hung up the phone.
Scipio said the family did not hear from Molar, again, until the following week when he called another of her daughters, Angelina Holligan, of  South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, to state that her sister had passed away some three days prior to his call.
She said, when the sibling enquired why the call was only being made three days after the death, Molar abruptly ended the telephone conversation but not before he collected his mother-in-law’s number.
Scipio said Molar made contact with her two days after and was making requests for the same sum as he did of her ex-husband and did not seem concerned with disclosing the cause of her daughter’s death or any other information.

SAME DISCOURTESY
She said he only hinted that the body was at the mortuary in the Indian hospital and treated her with the same discourtesy of slamming down the telephone receiver.
The mother said, before her daughter died, she was only allowed to speak to her once a month and, every time, she had to talk to the husband first.
She revealed that Molar married her daughter in India in 2011 and ensured that he hooked up her phone to his, so that he, too, could listen to her conversations and messages.
In desperation, the family approached the Indian High Commission in Georgetown and, following a Facebook communication, sent to the nurse’s sister by Molar, the First Secretary at the Georgetown mission was able to get in touch with the hospital at which the nurse died.
It was through that source they learnt the body was at the hospital mortuary and would have had to be removed in three days or risk its disposal.
Before Solomon left Guyana, she was attached to The Palms as a nursing supervisor.
