Trust me the man is a nairalander  guess he saw the post of the bike man that assisted the lady that was attacked over the weekend.. Not necessarily. He has been involved in a similar case for more than a month now. A woman's sister died and the allegation was that the hospital refused to treat her. The woman reached out to the commissioner on Twitter and he was investigating the incident. |

The Lagos State GovernmentLASG seeks immediate care for emergency trauma patients
• Appeals to Healthcare Providers to Stop Rejecting Victims of trauma
• To review the State Emergency policies and procedures
The Lagos State Government has strongly appealed to all health care providers including public and private health facilities operating in the State to stop the trend of rejecting gunshot victims and other trauma patients on the excuse of requiring a police report or the need to provide evidence of funds before commencing treatment.
The State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi made the appeal today while reacting to investigations by the Ministry of Health which revealed that some health facilities in the State are in the habit of rejecting or delaying care to trauma victims which has in some cases resulted in avoidable loss of lives.
He urged hospitals, health centres and clinics to offer immediate comprehensive care to gunshot victims and other trauma patients in line with the Federal Government’s Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act, 2017.
“These deaths would have been avoided if health care providers were conversant with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act, 2017 which stipulates that victims of gunshot and traumatic accidents should be given immediate treatment at any healthcare facility”, the Commissioner stated.
He noted that health care providers are duty bound according to their professional oaths to first save lives by offering immediate attention to any patient requiring urgent, critical and lifesaving supportive care before any other considerations.
“Such critical care should include where necessary all measures to stabilize the patient before onward referral to more equipped facilities. Simple procedures such as attempts to arrest bleeding or intravenous fluids could make all the difference to saving life”, Abayomi said.
The Commissioner explained that the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act makes provisions for obligatory treatment and care for victims of gunshots, stressing that the law stipulates that a person with a gunshot wound shall be received for immediate and adequate treatment by any hospital in Nigeria.
“With this Act, it has become legally wrong for healthcare providers to delay attending to victims of gunshots and any other trauma under any circumstances. It is in this wise that I want to make it clear that the Lagos State Government will not hesitate to explore this law and to apply suitable sanctions against facilities that contravene the provisions of the act”, Abayomi stated.
While noting that the primary concern of the Act borders on access to prompt medical care, the Commissioner averred that the sanctity of human life should be the first consideration for any healthcare provider irrespective of circumstances leading to incident involving the trauma victim.
He noted that plans are also in top gear to review and revise the Lagos State Emergency policies and procedures in order to ensure prompt care for accident and trauma victims as well as service officials injured in the course of their duties, adding that this is a strong mandate captured in the THEMES agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Abayomi added that the review of emergency policy will focus on emergency infrastructure, coordination, human resource capacity, response time, and obligations of citizens and health care providers. https://www.facebook.com/followlasg/posts/2831889060165675?__tn__=K-R

Note that what Lasepa is after is compliance.
They do not immediately shut down places after complaints have been made. Instead they advise and educate the owners of the premises.
However, if the problem is not resolved then they issue a warning.
If the problem is still not resolved then they shut the place down.
The premises could still be opened if the owners rectify the problem (remove external speakers, etc.) and sign a guarantee that they won't break the law again. |

Here is a summary of what has happened in the El Zakzaky case. 1) There was a conflict between supporters of Zakzaky and the Nigerian Army in which many people died. It occurred in Kaduna. 2) The Federal Government subsequently arrested Zakzaky and he was detained by the DSS. 3) The Kaduna State Government set up a panel of enquiry into the conflict. 4) Zakzaky’s lawyers filed several lawsuits against the Federal Government because the government was detaining him illegally. They even filed a suit at the ECOWAS Court of Justice. The judges in these cases ordered the Federal Government to release Zakzaky, but the government did not. 5) The panel of enquiry set up by the Kaduna State Government submitted its report and the Kaduna State Government subsequently charged Zakzaky with murder. The Kaduna High Court judge ordered that Zakzaky should be kept in the custody of the DSS. 6) The Federal Government said that Zakzaky was not under arrest; rather he was in protective custody. 7) The pressure on the Federal Government eventually became too much and it could not ignore it, so it washed its hands off Zakzaky. 8 ) Zakzaky’s lawyer, Femi Falana, filed bail applications on 3 occasions. The first two were rejected because the court ruled that Zakzaky was standing trial for murder, which carries a death sentence and so he is likely to flee if he is granted bail. The third was rejected because Falana did not include a medical certificate in his application. 9) The court eventually granted bail to Zakzaky so that he could be treated in India. His lawyers had presented evidence that Zakzaky and his wife were in a very bad condition and they could die if they were not flown abroad. The Kaduna State Government opposed the bail application, stating that Zakzaky could be treated in Nigeria. 10) Zakzaky was flown to India in accordance with the court order. However, problems arose when he got to India. The Indian Government said that Zakzaky tried to have meetings with people that he was not supposed to meet with (including Iranians). Zakzaky said that he had more freedom when he was in Nigeria and that being in DSS custody was like being in a hotel, while the Indians were treating him as if he was in prison. He also wanted to change hospitals at the last minute but the Indian Government refused. Zakzaky then said that he would prefer to return to Nigeria. 11) Zakzaky was returned to Nigeria. 12) The Nigerian Government apologised to the Indian Government for Zakzaky's behaviour. AkeNathan:
Is it not a sad thing that several courts have ordered for his release on bail yet the so called kaduna state government have refused to free the man?
He is bringing shame to the system and it is the responsibility of a responsible FG to wade into a matter whereby a State government does not obey a court order.

That is what it means to be a federal republic.
Regardless of the charges, the Kaduna State Government are trampling on his rights. Their governor is a stubborn man. |

Lagos to knock off more roundabouts on Lekki-Epe Expressway
by Joshua Bassey On Dec 27, 2019 Lekki Epe Expressway
More of the massive roundabouts on the Lekki-Epe Expressway Lagos, are to be removed in what aimed at further improving vehicular traffic flow on that corridor, BusinessDay has learnt.
Officials of the state ministry of transportation, led by the commissioner in charge of the ministry,
Frederic Oladeinde are said to be out to inspect the corridor, and identify how many more of the roundabouts will have to go.
It was learnt that apart from the roundabouts on Lekki-Epe Expressway, the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration, is also considering knocking off similar structures on roads in other parts of the commercial city, based on expert advice from urban transportation consultants, who identified such roundabouts as contributing to the gridlock being experienced in Lagos.
BusinessDay gathered that about 27 of such structures had been identified across the state.
It would be recalled that the immediate past administration of Akinwunmi Ambode, was the first, in 2016 to remove some of roundabouts on the Lekki-Epe corridor.
Among the ones removed by the Ambode-led government were planned the 4th Roundabout (Elegushi); 5th Roundabout (Jakande) and the 8th Roundabout (VGC).
Anofi Elegushi, then acting commissioner for transportation under Ambode, had said: ”This administration is determined to reduce the stress experienced by motorists and residents on this road.
“The roundabouts were replaced with traffic lights, expansion of the roads and provision of dedicated turning lanes as well as additional lay-bys.
“This will surely decongest traffic in this area, even for commercial vehicles, the travel time will reduce and they will have enough turnaround by earning more.
Biodun Otunola, managing director of Planet Project Ltd, which handled the contract had observed: “Movement has been made easy for both motorists and the pedestrians.”

Therefore, the appeals should be to Governor El-Rufai and the Kaduna State Government, not to Buhari and the Federal Government.

Lawless people Actually, you are wrong. The Kaduna State High Court rejected his bail applications 3 times. They finally granted him bail on medical reasons and the bail was for him to be able to travel to India for treatment. The Kaduna State Government allowed him to travel to India, but he didn't like it there, so he returned to Nigeria. Kaduna court refuses El Zakzaky bail

A Kaduna State High Court on Wednesday denied the Leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria otherwise known as ‘Shiites’, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, bail.
The court refused the Shiites’ leader bail on the grounds that he did not attach a medical report to his bail application.
The court was presided over by Mr. Justice Gideon Kurada.
The IMN leader and his wife would remain in the custody of the Department of State Security until January 22, 2019.
Security was tight within and outside the court located along the Ibrahim Taiwo road in the metropolis.

tiwiex:
So why is the DSS holding him? Confusing defence. The answer is quite simple, actually. In Nigeria today we do not have state jails, state police forces, state intelligence agencies or a state prison service. They all belong to the Federal Government. So, suspects that are being tried by state governments are detained in federal prisons or in other federal government owned facilities. So, for example, Hamza Al-Mustapha was prosecuted by the Lagos State Government, but he was detained at Kirikiri Prison, which is owned by the Federal Government and at the Directorate of Military Intelligence, which is also owned by the Federal Government, while he was on trial. Agba Jalingo is currently being prosecuted by the Cross River State Government, but he is being detained at a federal facility. So the answer to your question is that El Zakzaky is being detained at a DSS facility on the orders of a Kaduna State High Court. naptu2:

In case the very strange language that was used in the first post seems strange and confusing (is that English Language? ), all that he is trying to say is that Zakzakky is being tried by the Kaduna State Government, not by the Federal Government, therefore, it is that Kaduna State Government that will decide if it wants to release him or not. That's no longer within the power of the Federal Government. |
