This actually led to this peaceful protest to register our grievances with the hospital management, that we are not happy losing our own colleague. The management must do something to avert future occurrences. All lives matter and are equal. They should stop treating us unfairly,\u201d the source stated.<\/p>\n<p>The protesters, learnt, were later pacified to go back to work as they were assured that the issue will be thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n<p>All attempts to speak with the hospital management proved abortive at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the legal adviser to the hospital, Enny O. Esq., said the matter just came to his attention and is being addressed to ascertain what actually transpired.<\/p>\n<p>A similar incident happened in Accident and Emergency Ward of the same hospital some months ago whereby relatives of a deceased patient assaulted some medical personnel for alleged negligence. The unfortunate incident prompted medical personnel in the hospital to down tools for days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
