In 9ja: JTF Attack Staff, Patients At UMTH For Lack Of Space To Drop Dead Bodies

Bullet holes in the windows of the Haematology department of the Teaching Hospital.

In the early hour of today, the Joint Task Force wreak havoc at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Borno state.

Hakika blog receive reports that the JTF officers demanded for space in the Hospital’s mortuary, for some dead bodies to be put and when told of constraint of space, they opened fire and physically brutalize members of staff of the health facility.

Many of those beaten include doctors, nurses, the private security operatives guarding the facility and even some patients.

A young Doctor Abdulhakeem Mamman lamented the incident by writing: 

"Still can't come 2 terms wit d circumstances surrounding d barbaric n inhumane harassment our noble teachers Prof. Ngadda n Dr. Bashir Tahir suffered this morning in d hands of illiterate security agents for refusing acceptance of corpses in UMTH mortuary. I think, Nigerian Medical Association should immediately swing into action to forestall any further victimization of doctors because dire consequences loom large in d horizon if nothing is done. Period."

We didn't get any reports of death during the incident.

HBC: WTH is going on for God's sake, we no rest for boko them, now the Solders and police are going haywire and attacking people in hospitals. I don't know what to say abeg!
