Mr Akpabio said his grandchild died after bleeding for several hours because there were no doctors and nurses on duty at the hospital.

The senate president narrated the experience on Friday when members of the upper chamber were screening the ministerial nominee from Lagos State, Tunji Alausa.

He stressed that all efforts to revive the boy with a defibrillator were unsuccessful because the hospital had not used the equipment for years. “He was placed on a drip that ran into the night. There was no help, no doctor, no nurse and he bled until he lost over 60 per cent of his blood. “I used my hand and struggled with my physician, I could not revive him. I had to close his eyes and put him in the mortuary, and then I proceeded to Port Harcourt for our party’s rally,” Mr Akpabio narrated.Mr Alausa while responding to a question on hospitals treating gunshot victims maintained that, professionally, hospitals do not need a police report before saving lives from a gunshot victim.
