The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the Federal Teaching Hospital (FETH), Ido-Ekiti, Dr Lawrence Ayodele, has absolved himself of wrongdoing in the death of two doctors from the hospital who were among those that died in Kaduna last week.

Ayodele told reporters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital Monday, that those protesting against him are enemies of progress who believe they can thwart his reappointment for a second term because of his reform programme that has plugged many loopholes for corruption.

He also called on security agencies to put a stop to what he described as an act of ‘terrorizing the hospital community’ by the protesters.

Ayodele said those protesting against his administration were only using the death of the two doctors as a cover to achieve their aim of making the hospital ungovernable with the aim of preventing his reappointment for a second term.

The CMD, who gave details of his involvement in the treatment of the doctors, also revealed that the three doctors from FETHI who were among the seven doctors involved in the accident did not take permission for the journey from the hospital’s management.

Nonetheless, Ayodele said as soon as he was informed of the accident about 9:00 pm Sunday evening in Sokoto, he contacted all hospital heads around the area that could offer help in treating them. His efforts, he recalled, led to the mobilization of personnel and materials that rescued survivors.

In addition, Dr Ayodele said he made a presentation on the accident to the minister, Permanent Secretaries and other top government and professional officials the following day, after which he excused himself from the meeting and the conference to enable him return to Ekiti and attend to the situation.

He said seven doctors from the Ekiti State Hospital Management Board, Ekiti State Teaching Hospital and FETHI agreed to undertake the journey using a bus belonging to the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Ekiti State branch for the Sokoto NMA conference.

He said: “The seven doctors came together to take an NMA bus and driver. They did not involve our hospital. And the three of them from our hospital did not take permission for the conference.

“So, it is surprising to hear all the way from Sokoto that a group of people under the aegis of Senior Staff Association gathered in front of our hospital accusing the CMD of their death. As the sitting Chief Executive, I have no problem with the staff under me.”

Ayodele scribed the allegations being branded against him as untrue. On the allegation that 42 people died in his 42 months of leadership, the CMD said nothing can be farther from the truth because only five members of staff have died to his knowledge since the inception of his administration.

According to him, a medical doctor died of neurological disease, a nurse died of AIDS, a man collapsed due to diabetic coma while a young man died for his alleged involvement in diabolical activities and another young man died in an accident in Owo while returning from a meeting.

He pointed out: “These protesters are not protesting because of the accident. They are only using it as a cover.”

Ayodele described the act of closing down the hospital and sending out patients from the wards as acts of terrorism.

“They have beaten up a number of staff, vandalized Oba’s palace and stopping people from carrying out their duties. They are terrorizing the hospital staff. Security agencies must not allow these to continue because a few people cannot hijack a federal institution. These people should face the full weight of the law.

“They are trying to make the hospital ungovernable so that government will not renew my appointment.”

Staff of the hospital under three unions had closed the hospital while protesting the death of two doctors from the hospital who were in the team of seven doctors involved in the accident. They accused Ayodele of using juju to kill his colleagues.

They also called on the government to remove him and appoint another CMDhttp://thenationonlineng.net/fethi-cmd-absolves-self-ekiti-doctors-death/

Nawa oh

So the punishment for not taking official permission is death.
A draconian punishment being meted out to enemies in Occultism.

at last his nefarious activities are now in the open, I have been receiving information about his juju/voodoism activities within the hospital premises that he even had the generators switched off at a time to conduct some.....

absence from work without official permission,perhaps the CMD is planning to issue queries to the dead Doctors.
This CMD has a case to answer.

This man can lie!
According to him, it was his efforts that led to the rescue of the survivors even though he only heard about the accident around 9pm, so ayodele is saying that the survivors were left at the scene of the accident till 9pm because the accident occurred around 4;45pm! By 9pm that every body in ekiti already knew about and the number of casualties, infact by that time we already spoke with one of the survivors who told us the hospital they were.
He also lied that he left sokoto for ekiti immediately, that's another big lie, infact he stayed back in sokoto till the end of the NMA prog on Thursday!
Also saying only five people have since he took over is another blatant lie, although I can't confirm the 42 people are talking about but I know not less than 15 people who have died since 2012!
Is it not surprising that neither ayodele nor the hospital management has issued a condolence message to the bereaved families over one week after the incident?
So what's important to ayodele is that none of the doctors took permission for the journey?
All I know is that we will all reap whatever we sow

In as much as no one has any substantial evidence to prove the allegations,i think d SSA of the said health institution should just take a chill pill.
News has it tho that the man is fetish,but no one has come up with evidence.
But den,if he really does know and is behind it 'fetishly',den let God be the judge and let's watch him not die again or rather,live forever!

And as for the lies he told in his interview, 'that his efforts led to the safety of those who were alive',i say there is God o!
Accident happened around 4:30/5pm,the last person dat died amongst dem did around 7/8pm after failed efforts to access medical care . Oga Ayodele heard around 9pm,and his effort saved the remaining! Oga can lie!
