The General Hospital in Orile-Agege, Lagos state was at the
weekend, reportedly invaded by hoodlums with dangerous weapons,
attacking and stabbing both staff and patients.
According to Leadership, the
thugs who carted away valuables
belonging to patients such as money and handsets, were said to have
invaded the engineering department of the hospital and the drivers’
office at about 11pm on Sunday.
An unnamed nurse who spoke on the condition of anonymity, recalled the incident saying, “A
boy was rushed to the hospital after he allegedly engaged in a fight
with another fellow and doctors in the hospital had made attempts to
save his life.
“The thugs were not happy that doctors in the hospital wanted to save the life of the guy.
They wanted the boy, whose
name was given as Taye, to die at all cost, but our doctors had attended
to him just to save his life.”
It was revealed that it took a while before security operatives
could move in to arrest the situation and stop the rampaging hoodlums
from further destruction, however, the doctor who treated the man was
said to have ran to the children’s ward to hide from the hoodlums and
after the incident, he could hardly attend to any other patient.
According to him, they eventually allowed him to live when they learnt he was a pastor
