The Majority Leader of the Kogi State House of Assembly allegedly assaulted hospital staff and played a leading role in the violence. The situation escalated to the point where shots were fired during a struggle over a gun wrestled from the hospital's Chief Security Officer.
The disturbing incident raises serious concerns about the safety of hospital personnel and the need for immediate intervention to address the aftermath of the attack. The accused political leader's alleged involvement underscores the urgency of investigating and addressing the security and well-being of medical professionals in the region.
The man in white kaftan was the one that assaulted us. He's the majority leader in the Kogi state house of assembly. He was the one that stoned his phones at me, hit me and my colleague, and lead the violence. Here you can see him trying to wrest the gun out of the CSO https://t.co/q0lua4vpci
