The Kogi State government has reacted to Wednesday’s attack on the Federal Medical Centre Lokoja, saying that it resulted from “scuffle between the staff of the health facility and some of the aggrieved relatives of patients.”
“Many people in the Emergency Ward were left unattended to and a mother delivered at the gate of the hospital. That generated a lot of public tension in the state. “We also sue for calm and urge medical authorities to remain committed to their medical profession and responsibilities, as government will protect them in order to give them the confidence to deliver.“Healthcare management must never be politicized. Also, government will carry out further investigations to ascertain the remote causes of the breach of peace by the protesters and also address their fears.
The unnumbered hoodlums that stormed the FMC Lokoja carted away laptops and phones of both staffers and patients.They operated freely for over thirty minutes and left the scene with victims crying for help.
