Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A reported fire emergency at the new Accident and Emergency, A&E Unit of the Osun State University Teaching Hospital caused panic among patients and staff on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

A source who sought anonymity stated that patients were seen running out of the unit during the fire.<\/p>\n

In his words, \u201cI can confirm to you that there is a fire emergency at the new Accident and Emergency unit of UNIOSUNTH this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see patients scampering for safety and running out of the A&E Unit to avoid the fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know how the fire started but suddenly, we saw patients running for safety with blood and bandages on their body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting, the Chief Medical Director, CMD of the hospital, Prof Peter Olaitan debunked the reports of a fire outbreak.<\/p>\n

Prof. Olaitan in a reply to a message by DAILY POST revealed that it was a circuit breaker that exploded.<\/p>\n

He also added that the patients are well and the UTH engineers are already working to fix the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not true. There was a circuit breaker that exploded and that was all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe patients are ok and in the ward. Our engineers are already working to fix it immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
