Why hoodlums attacked Ekiti teaching hospital
According to the report, the hoodlums were angry about the death of the man and therefore forced themselves onto the premises and went away with the deceased body from the Accident and Emergency Ward on Monday morning.
According to a statement by Rolake Adewumi, the head of the corporate affairs department, the management will not tolerate any attack on its member staff in the hospital.
According to Olabanji, the management of EKSUTH and the police authorities have met with the state chairman of the Road Transport Association, and he had been mandated to produce the head of the attackers because the management has learnt that the person involved is a member of the union.
