Police Avert Multiple Murder Of Doctors In Kuje General Hospital

Police officers have arrested three people who threatened to kill at least three medical officers, including doctors in retaliation for the death of their female relation who died on admission at the post natal ward of the general hospital in Kuje, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Sources at the hospital said that the timely arrival of the police at the hospital premises saved the medical officers who received the threat simply because they appealed to the relation of the dead woman to vacate the ward so as to enable them (doctors) evacuate the corpse to suitable place.
It was gathered that the dead woman’s relations who have virtually taken over the ward renting the air with loud prayers, scared other patients on admission in the ward.
“When we appealed to them to move out of the ward to give us the chance to do our work, they charged at us and openly threatened to kill three of us in retaliation for the dead woman whose death we were not responsible,” one of the scared doctors narrated.
It was learnt that when the police arrived, some of them fled the scene with three of them available for arrest.
