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, Leadership
reports.
The thugs who carted away valuables
of 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.
A 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,” the unnamed nurse said.
Reports reveal 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.
Meanwhile, a parent who had brought
his daughter to the hospital was also stabbed.
According to him, they eventually
allowed him to live when they learnt he was a pastor.
