Our attention has been drawn to news making the round that UBTH JOHESU EXCO members were involved in a road traffic accident yesterday 19.05.2018 on their way to Auchi in Edo state.

While there was indeed a road traffic accident:
** the victims are neither UBTH JOHESU EXCO
NOR MEMBERS**

We understand the desperation of the sponsors of this false news to always seek ways to score cheap points but we are saddened by the fact that they could descend so low as seeing the pain and anguish of the accident victims as something to be celebrated to the extent of uploading the pictures of this NIGERIANS IN PAIN to the whole world.

I want to state here again that this news is not correct as no UBTH JOHESU MEMBERS were involved in any kind of accident today and we shall by the GRACE OF GOD NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY.

We want to advise ARD/NMA members to always check their facts and avoid rushing into conclusions so as not to continue spreading falsehoods to the general public.

They could have asked questions and get correct answers before painting the social media red with this lies.

I advice the NMA to avoid wishing JOHESU MEMBERS evil as evidenced by the way they celebrated this falsehood on the social media.

WE WISH THE VICTIMS OF THIS R.T.A A VERY QUICK RECOVERY.

WE ALSO APPEAL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO PREVAIL ON THE MINISTERS OF HEALTH AND LABOUR TO QUICKLY PUT AN END TO THIS STRIKE BY DOING THE NEEDFUL.

GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT JOHESU MEMBERS.
OUR DEMANDS ARE LEGITIMATE.

GOD BLESS JOHESU.

OSIGBEME AUGUSTINE
Chairman, NANNM UBTH

It has been confirmed that the accident reported above involved the outsourced staff of UBTH going for a function and not UBTH JOHESU MEMBERS. While We wish them quick recovery, it is of note that the resident doctors of irrua posted it to mock johesu. This is unwarranted.
They were more of contract cleaners who went for d burial of their colleague's husband at Uzairue, Etsako West. No death but badly injured. Rushed to ISTH, Irrua...

NMA then turn it to something else on social media and copy the handle of different television station, and now without confirming it the station are airing it..... Na WA for this country sha

Those doctors peddling the false news are shameless.
