A notorious thug known as Gbenga aka Seriki and his gang have allegedly broken the neck of a nurse, Comfort Olaogbesibikan working with General Hospital, Emure Ekiti.
The suspects also inflicted injuries on other staff of the hospital including the security man on guard.
Narrating her ordeal, the nurse told newsmen that Seriki rushed his five day old baby to the clinic for treatment after the baby was said to have developed complications.
She noted that the baby was brought in dead (BID) and immediately the father was notified he pounced on her heavily leading to the fatal neck injury.
The situation paralyzed activities in the hospital and as at the time of this report, the hospital has not been opened for operations due to fear of further attack from the suspects who is a known notorious criminal in the area.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, Ekiti State, has described the incident as barbaric calling on the Ekiti State Police Command to fish out the suspect for prosecution.
The reaction of the association is contained in a statement signed by the chairman, Comrade Kunle Oni, Secretary, Comrade Olabisi Ayenioye and the PRO, Comrade Olaoluwa Odunayo.
