Some thugs invaded the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) on Monday morning and vandalized its Accident and Emergency Complex following the death of a man claimed to be related to one of them.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado Ekiti, Professor Kayode Olabanji who confirmed the incident to journalists said that the thugs took away the corpse of the deceased from the Accident and Emergency Ward.
The CMD, in a statement by the management, signed by the Head of the Corporate Affairs Department, Rolake Adewumi, said, “Management will not tolerate any act of violence or mayhem being unleashed on members of staff of the hospital.”
“EKSUTH management and the police authorities have met with the state Chairman of the Road Transport Association and “mandated him to produce the ring leader because the management heard that the person involved is a member of the association.
“The management has stationed four armed policemen at the Accident and Emergency as well as two armed policemen at the main gate to strengthen the security of the hospital until further notice.”
The CMD said that the Division Police Officer in charge of Oke-Ila Division, SP Sesan Falade, has assured of frequent patrol of the hospital premises.
The CMD also said that the EKSUTH management is making an effort that the culprit of a similar occurrence at the Neo-Natal Ward doesn’t go unpunished as the matter is already in court.
Olabanji appealed to the members of staff to calm down as steps were in the right direction to ensure that such an incident does not occur again, saying the management would not tolerate any act of molestation of its staff while discharging their duties.
