On Thursday, July 28, some hoodlums and relatives of a patient who died after being brought into the Accident and Emergency Department of the hospital alongside others, had assaulted some doctors and nurses on duty. This disrupted activities within the medical institution.
It was gathered that members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) had embarked on a warning strike in protest of the attack on their colleagues.
In a statement signed on Friday, July 29 by Solomon Ilori and Felix Olaomi, the President and Secretary, NARD UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital chapter, after an emergency meeting had withdrawn all forms of clinical activities in the hospital in protest to the attacks.
The management warned that the hospital will not tolerate any form of attack or harassment of its staff in the course of discharging their duties.
The UNIOSUN hospital management on its part, in a signed statement, assured its members of staff that those involved in the attack would face the wrath of the law.
However, the Head of the Corporate Affairs Department of the hospital, Christy Oyewole had earlier stated that normalcy had returned to the hospital and duties had fully resumed.
