Students of the University of Benin are currently protesting at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital over the untimely death of one of their colleagues, who just graduated in the last academic session.

The aggrieved students are agitating in their numbers at the UBTH premises located along the ever-busy Uselu-Lagos expressway, over the death of Mr. Perez, a Director of Sports at the UNIBEN Faculty of Education.

One of the protesters, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, attributed the death of their colleague to alleged negligence on the part of the doctors.

She accused the doctors of abandoning the ex-student and allowing him to die after they had admitted him on emergency ground.

A clip obtained also saw one of the students accuse the Hospital of admitting the patient to an empty oxygen while he battled for his dear life.

Efforts to obtain comments from the Hospital's Management proved abortive. As at press time, the phone line of the UBTH spokesperson was busy.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that the deceased had complained of stomach pain and was rushed to the hospital where he died.

“Yesterday, Mr. Perez was screaming of stomach pain. We met the doctor, he said he was attending to another patient. He just came and gave him(Perez) an injection and left.

“They malhandled an emergency case and were turning us up and down for x-ray, scan etc. The last thing one of the doctors said was that his intestine was struggling with the scar from his previous [appendices] surgery.

“They connected pipe through his nostrils and privates that they were flushing his system, plus drip... he didn't eat anything throughout yesterday...”, one of the students lamented.

As at the time of filing this report, officers from the BDPA police station, Ugbowo, have taken over the hospital premises where the protest is currently taking place.

So sad, RIP.

Sad

Negligence and Nigerian hospitals are inseparable.

They feel they are doing you a favour and not rendering a service you paid for.

So sad.

After all the stressful days in Uniben.

This world is something else

So sad.

After all the stressful days in Uniben.

This world is something else

Suffering from scar from appendix surgery He did that didn't go well

Unproperly trained doctor that did the appendix surgery is the reason He's dead

This is bad
