Armed robbers struck at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital ( LUTH )
last Thursday, dispossessing doctors and others of valuables .
Some doctors were in the ARD Lounge , preparing for their examinations
while others were relaxing when the robbers struck at about 7. 30am
A victim said : “The first that entered wore a clinical coat . As he entered ,
he just shouted : ‘ This is armed robbery ; all of you, cooperate and face
down. If you make any move, I will waste your life . ’ Three others soon
joined him. The first person was holding a pistol and he pointed it at each
of us . We lost working tools such as iPads , handsets – some of those
phones are expensive – and some lost personal effects. At the end, they
left through the backdoor . That was highly curious to some of us . The
experience that we medics can be robbed at gunpoint at a place
considered our safe zone is really scary.
“The issues that really baffled us include how it happened , despite the
security measures put in place by the management . There are suspects –
people hanging around that we did not feel comfortable with . The
association has lodged a complaint with the Alakara Police Station in
Mushin and also with the one attached to the hospital . There was a lady
medic in our midst ; we thank God that she was neither harassed nor
assaulted. ”
Another said : “Some of us were there at the Lounge because we were on
call duty ; some go there because of the guarantee that there would be
electricity. Most of us are sitting for our different examinations ; so we
read there . Of interest is that the assailants were all in clinical coats. And
we deduced that there was at least, one person outside who was giving
others signals . There are suspects and the management is already
handling the case .
“So also , the security breach baffled us . A security officer was on duty at
that time ; even if he couldn’ t shoot , he should have raised the alarm to
attract reinforcement while taking to his heels. We observed that the
assailants were in a haste to do their thing and move on. They carted the
stolen things inside a bag of a colleague . They even took away log books
and case notes meant for the examinations .
“The most disturbing thing is the gate at the back of the lounge. Most
people , including doctors, did not know it existed . It was perpetually under
lock . But that was their escape route and it was opened. That indicates
that it was a well- planned crime involving an insider. The incident is a
trauma for some of us . Some of us still wake up with a jerk around that
time every day since that fateful day. ”

Caught ke? in this country?
I'm sure the robbery victims themselves would have resigned to fate.
'Leave everything to God' is the Naija syndrome.
CCTV camera could have helped but I doubt if the 'almighty' LUTH has such a facility
