"David got shot around 8pm. The police were called, David hadn't died yet. The Nigerian police stood and watched as he gasped for air. They took pictures instead, and were more concerned with why he - a tech guy- was carrying a laptop. Nigeria failed you, David."

"David was taken to the military hospital around the area, the nurses ignored him. The doctor came around and kept asking who they all were. It took a senior nurse to come out and start checking for a pulse. He had lost a lot of blood at this point."

"The police then took david and his family to Sabo, where they looked for the laptop that he had on him instead of giving them a police report. The police officers were drunk and kept being unreasonable. He was finally released to his family, and they got to LUTH around 12:30am."

"David wasn't attended to by the doctors at LUTH. He was there till the family was convinced he couldn't be alive because he had no pulse. The doctors refused to administer any test to see if he was alive."

"The country failed David.
The doctors failed David.
The police failed David.
The system failed David.
Rest in peace David Ntekim-Rex."

i feel this country is handle by unprofessional.

I hate the way hospitals here operate. Why not treat him then hand him over to the police. No value for human life at all.

I can't believe it

Nigeria will always fail you!

R.i.p

Rest on dear. I don't know why hospitals in Nigeria are like this Biko nu? I can only account for one Doc somewhere in Okpuno Awka. He also works at unizik. He won't even ask you to drop a pin or any report., he will first rush in to save his patient, then the bills and report can come later.

Nigeria - A place to avoid at all cost.

Sad

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad...
I don't have much to say

Yet, na this same Hospital workers go still blame government and Politicians while they don't play their own part in curbing the nation's madness.

You wonder why Nigerians keep voting for the same ccorrupt pple for the past 60yrs? It's not far-fetched. The government is only a reflection of the citizens.

In Nigeria, ~90% of the citizens are MADD!

does it now mean our country is now hopeless. may the lord console the family. beside how can that useless law of getting police report before treating a gun shot victims scrap

Its been trending on Twitter since Yesterday
