Doctor, three Nurses mysteriously die in same hospital within 72 hours
Following the shocking deaths of a doctor and three nurses in a span of just 72 hours, residents of Saki, particularly those in the vicinity of Almusharaf Hospital in Oke Sunah, Saki West Local Government Area, have been gripped with fear.
The string of fatalities began three days ago with the death of a nurse employed at the hospital.
This tragedy was quickly followed by the untimely passing of the doctor and two more nurses between Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving the community on edge and desperate for answers.
A resident of the area, Mr Adekunle Lawal, who spoke with Vanguard said: “Three days ago, one nurse died and on Monday another nurse died and yesterday, the doctor and another nurse died.
“We are afraid because we don’t know what caused their deaths. The doctor is a quack doctor. Maybe all of them treated a patient who has a contagious disease which, I think, was not well handled.
“It’s a very big hospital. They carry out minor surgery on patients and at times they invite doctors elsewhere to join them.
“If it’s a contagious disease, how come that no patients died but the staff? People are also speculating that it could be food poisoning. Maybe one of them ate food and gave others to eat. We don’t know. All these are mere assumptions until those responsible for monitoring these hospitals carry out an autopsy on the deceased. None of the patients died, it’s only the staff of the hospital.
“All of them have been buried. You know they are Muslim. Please, the Ministry of Health and other relevant agencies should step in.”
Another resident, Mr Adeola Fehintola, a legal practitioner said, those in charge of surveillance should investigate the matter.
“You know Saki is very close to the borders. Maybe someone with a contagious disease has just come in. My people are living there, those in charge should do something urgent to know the actual cause of death.”
