Ayo Owolabi, father of the slain Channels TV reporter, Precious Owolabi, has called for the probe of Garki Hospital over alleged poor handling of the emergency, Igbere TV reports.

Owolabi, 23, was killed during the protest by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) last Monday in Abuja.

The deceased’s father, speaking on Sunday when his family was paid a visit by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Kaduna, wondered why the doctor who was supposed to perform surgery on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member was not within reach after his son had been stabilised, Igbere TV reports.

“He was taken to the first hospital where they said they could not handle his case and was referred to Garki hospital where he was attended to and was stabilized,” Mr Owoabi said.

“But the doctor, who was supposed to do surgery on him, was far away. Possibly if he was available, the boy’s life would have been saved and that would have saved us from this agony we found ourselves in for the past one week.

“I would have loved to find out why the doctor was not around. And what step has the management of that hospital taken on that doctor’s action.

“I saw the boy in a video sitting down, holding his tummy and bleeding. But the doctor to do the surgery was nowhere to be found.”

Osinbajo described Owolabi’s death as a national tragedy that would never be forgotten in history.

I am strongly in your support on this request.

It is painful and indeed a gross negligence of duty to be out of duty post when a life is at stake. We love and respect our medical doctors but it is a deservice to the nation and indeed humanity to take for granted the confidence reposed on you in saving lives of people.

Maybe the doctor was attending to other patients in his or her personal clinic. We never can tell.

Maybe the protest blocked his way to work

My Guy why na??
This is human life we are talking here

Doctors are leaving the country. But you should also commend the doctors that stabilized him. Probably the doctor that they were waiting for could be the specialist. And specialists remaining in the country are getting fewer in numbers. Possibly workload on those remaining is getting higher.
As someone pointed out, he could be saving another patient.

You should rather ask for probe into the financing of the healthcare sector. The first hospital could have as well saved his life, if they had the facilities to do so.

Stop talking nonsense!!
If we don't investigate and punish hospitals and medical officials who toy with people's lifes how would service delivery in the health sector improve
Another day they will still do their wickedness if they are not being brought to book!!

The most stupid and insensitive thing I've read today.

that could be the case....and it's against the law

Most of those doctors have their personal hospitals while they still work in government hospital. They're more dedicated to their personal investment. Really feel sorry for the family.

I hope this is sarcasm and if its true then he might loose his license as there is a law n government doctors having private practice
