The Kogi State government has reacted to Wednesday’s attack on the Federal Medical Centre Lokoja, saying 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.“Tension started building since yesterday when patients and their relatives learnt of a plan by the medical staff to stage a protest today , seeking protection from Covid-19.”
“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.
