It was learnt that this year alone, robbers have attacked the hospital three times.
Bola said:
"The owner of the hospital did not provide security for his staff. I tell you, by this laxity, I and other staff have been subjected to mental torture.
The incident was reported at Igando Police Station, while the medical director of the hospital was arrested and later released on bail."
The Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Adegbola Dominic, confirmed the incident but said he could not be held liable for the rape of the nurses since he did not send the robbers to attack and defile them.

"When the robbers could not find money, they broke into the patients’ wards and carted away their phones, money and other valuables. I was also informed that one of my staff was raped. When I asked the victim about the incident she denied it.
I was surprised when the victim’s parents came to the hospital with police and got me arrested over the nurse’s claim that she was raped. When I got to the police station, I told them I could not be held liable for the victim being raped. I was not the person who sent the robbers to rape her.
When the incident happened, we took her through some tests and discovered she was intact. She is still a virgin and nothing happened to her. It is just that as a young girl, she suffered some shocks and that is all.
But if you heard she was raped, well, maybe she was a victim of circumstances and that obviously was not my fault. If I have a house and robbers raid my house and then rape somebody, is that my fault?"
