DAILY POST gathered that the suspended staff were alleged to have manhandled a pregnant woman in the centre. “It was on Friday evening when a woman in labour was brought to PHC Mayne Avenue. Rather than health workers present to help her into the labour room, they demanded for N20,000 for surgery while surgeries are not done there,” a source alleged.
The woman, who was in excruciating pain, went to the grass in front of the facility where she struggled on her own to deliver her baby and was aided by a member of the community and other passersby. When the woman finally put to birth, the youths in the community went into the health facility to move the nurse out to ensure she assisted the woman.
“I spend my time going from community to community to plead with women to leave Traditional Birth Attendants, Prayer houses and homes to deliver in Health facility, then a woman shows up in a health facility and she is beaten and pushed out, what worse treatment could a human give to another human? “This is in addition to the rural allowance paid as incentives and facility upgrade to improve services. What more could a committed Governor do to make things work?
