UCH staff in Ibadan caught by the hospital’s CSO while diverting diesel meant for critical units, video trends

Fresh controversy has emerged at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, after some staff members were allegedly caught diverting diesel reportedly meant for powering critical units within the hospital.

The development comes amid the ongoing power crisis affecting the hospital, with several sections of the medical facility reportedly left in darkness due to electricity challenges.

According to reports circulating online, diesel had been procured to ensure that essential and life-saving units within the hospital continued operating despite the unstable power supply. However, some staff members were allegedly caught attempting to divert part of the fuel for personal use.

Sources claimed that the hospital’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) intercepted a driver alongside a staff member identified as Mr. David, who is reportedly attached to the laboratory department, during the alleged operation.

In a video making rounds online, about six kegs believed to contain diesel were seen loaded inside a bus reportedly preparing to move the fuel out of the hospital premises before the individuals were allegedly apprehended.

The incident has since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing concern over alleged corruption and misconduct within critical public institutions, especially at a time when hospitals are struggling with operational challenges

Government dey wicked us, citizens follow they wicked citizens. The citizens of every nation are a perfect reflection of their government.

That's how they ruin the system and they begin to shout bad governance up and down. See as the face look like my former oga own, na them ruin nddc but today him go dey form st obi dey curse leaders. Efcc suppose arrest this guys.
He has also forgotten that his actions will lead the death of innocent people in the hospital. Tomorrow you see them in church as church elders giving testimony In church , how God bless him. Anyways the wife will still come out and say it's the work of her husband's enemies and distractors.

Their own don done. Awon ogbologbo thief

The guy never knew he is in trouble. He still dey open teeth .

Useless citizens always put all the blames on the government.....These people are ment to be jailed

I can remember how slim the caretaker of one hotel in my hood was before he was assigned caretaker.

Now baba don fat like swollen eba
Saw him last Sunday night I almost no recognize am. Baba dey chop him Oga hotel money 100%

The system is bad already. There is no consequences for wrong doings in these country from top to bottom, hence the reason why people's indulgence in corruption, wrong doings, evil, etc.

Until there is a consequence for wrong doing, there's no hope in this country, cos there will always be people that will compromise the development of the system.

The heart of an African man is darker than the devil's own.

He will blame the devil now. Just as the thieving politicians would blame AI once they are caught on camera while on their malpractices.

Lol...and that one sef go dey insult government

This one na play compared to wetin men dey do for road construction companies.

Nigerian happened to Nigeria

He couldn't talk anymore because he has been caught... Wicked souls

Everyday for the thief
One day for the owner
Perfect example

lies... being a criminal has nothing to do with color, oyinbo sef dey thief.

And when light go off,he will join them to abuse Tinubu

A thief thinks everyone else steals

1. He who in this world takes nothing that is not given to him, be it long or short, small or big, good or bad - him do I call a holy man.

2. When non-stealing is firmly established, all precious jewels present themselves to that person (to take anything that is not given by its owner is theft).

3. Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.

4. It is not permissible for a person to take anything from his brother except what is given willingly.

5. If the chief gives you a small fish, do not look into his basket to see if there is a bigger one.

6. The bird that gathers twigs from another bird's nest will watch its own eggs fall to the ground.

7. What you find without looking, and what you eat without being invited, is a debt that will follow your soul.

8. The dog looks at the meat in the market, but it keeps its paws on the ground. Only a thief reaches out before the price is named and the gift is placed in the palm.

9. A cautious guest keeps his hands to himself. Never take the seat that belongs to another, nor the bread that has not been broken for you. A wise man waits for what is offered.

10. Even the thought of taking what belongs to another without their consent is a sin.

There are many terrible civil servants. In fact the good ones are the minority.

Yet, that doesn't mean our government isn't equally or even more terrible.

In fact, our governshould be blamed for these crimes in civil service because the do not punish offenders except they're political opponents. And they prefer to spend fortunes on inflated projects instead of paying liveable wages.

Therefore, the terrible government lowered the barrier of entry to crime and weakened the desire for honesty.

Oyinbo steal, and are corrupt and commit crimes...so calm down.

You guys should really stop self hatred.

Manager on top dey steal money, workers dey still Diesel.

He told you guys that a salary of ₦45K is OK for him. This is why, because he knows the system will allow him to steal. That guy must have built his house, bought cars, and pay his wards fees with proceeds from his nefarious activities. Don’t we have people that will applaud him when he drops the “big God small me” quote on his social media handles?
His type will never vote for change. Status quo works best for them.

When the head is bad. God save us.

That is how he is standing on the mandate, mandate of criminality.

Not to justify stealing.

But the government is complicit. You're giving a man 70k for 30 days in this economy and expecting him to deliver quality and honest work.

The joke is on the government!

Is their no police in Ibadan? If there are police there they should handle him but to me it's no longer a new thing cus I remember when Emeka Omerua who then NFA(now NFF) chairman did not only stole Diesel from NFA secretariat Generator he carried NFA Generstor to his house and plunged NFA secretariat into darkness so seen this thief in this disgraceful act sorry I'm not move a bit.

Omo this one na dog eat dog
Nigeria is a jungle

And they will blame Tinubu too. cvr.inecnigeria.org

He’s an Obidient, I know him very well. He was one of those shouting new Nigeria is POssible…..it starts with stealing diesel

If the one recording is not careful , he will be the one to loose is Job first.

because this looks like it's a chain of networks, not just the laboratory man making phone calls.

To make this moves Works and maintenance will be involve at least a representative from works.

You are describing a syndicate but they said it is the CSO who caught the person, that's his job, isn't it?
