Save lives before demanding police report
In January, Mohammed Adamu, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), said doctors can proceed to attend to victims of gunshot first before asking for any police report.
The IGP made this disclosure on Monday, January 25, when he appeared on Channel TV's Newsnight programme.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in recent times had ordered hospitals, doctors, and medical experts to reject victims of gunshot without a police report.
