Gunshots As Men Storm Hospital, Attack Doctor, Others After Losing Patient (VIDEO)
A medical doctor at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Lokoja, took to his X handle, k_f2d, to share harrowing events as a group of men, reportedly led by an unnamed political leader, stormed the hospital on Tuesday following the death of a patient.
The doctor narrated the chaotic incident and the aggression directed at hospital staff.
In one of the videos posted, a struggle involving a gun can be observed, accompanied by the sound of gunshots. The doctor explained, “My team was called to the A&E to review a new patient. A group of men in kaftan broke through the gate and started demanding for the doctors on duty. Apparently, they lost a patient. And they came for the doctors. One of them, I learnt, is a political leader.”
He continued, “They broke into the room where we were, held me and my male colleague, almost tearing our shirts. I was too confused to speak. They were so many. We managed to break away from the A&E and left to another ward.”
The situation escalated with the men becoming violent, destroying property and assaulting hospital workers. The Chief Security Officer (CSO) confronted them with a gun, leading to a struggle during which shots were fired.
The doctor concluded, “The hospital gate was locked. We are currently hiding in different locations in the hospital. I was able to record this in the midst of the chaos. This is happening at Federal Teaching Hospital, Lokoja.”
