A 53-second footage of the Maitama District Hospital refusing to attend to Greatness Olorunfemi, a human resource expert who died after robbers stabbed her in Abuja, has emerged.

Zack Itodo, a close friend of the deceased, told FIJ that Olorunfemi was a victim of ‘one-chance drivers’ (commercial drivers who steal from their passengers) while returning home from an event.

He said that the 34-year-old, after being stabbed by the robbers, was thrown out of the vehicle on the Maitama-Kubwa highway, causing her bones to break and her body to bleed.

He also said that passersby who saw and knew her after being thrown out immediately rushed her to the Maitama District Hospital, which was the nearest, for medical attention.

“On Tuesday, Olorunfemi was returning home from an event when she entered a one-chance bus,” Itodo told FIJ.

“They attacked her and threw her off their moving bus. This led to her breaking some bones and bleeding. On getting to the hospital, she was still alive and breathing, but the hospital locked their doors and claimed she was brought in dead.

“Later. they said it was because she was brought in without a police report.”

In the video made in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Olorunfemi is shown unconscious in the back seat of a car. A male voice states that Olorunfemi was still alive when she arrived at the hospital.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your brother reporting from CNN News Network, Maitama District Hospital,” says the voice.

“Unfortunately, the nurses we met here said they could not attend to her, as they had their reasons.

“This what we have been talking about for the past few weeks: how our hospitals are dying on a daily basis.

“Instead of them to quickly rush this woman and save her life, they are saying there are procedures and processes and they just locked their gate against us.

“This is what is happening here now in Maitama District Hospital. The woman has been abandoned; they just locked up their door. You can see I am struggling with their doors and they are not willing to attend to this woman and she is giving up.

“We are just Good Samaritans who saw her and decided to rescue her. This is what is happening.”

On Friday, FIJ placed calls to the number found on the hospital’s Google page but it was not available. A text message sent to the number asking the hospital to react to the claims was yet to be responded to at press time.

FIJ had reported how social media users called for sanctions on the hospital for denying Olorunfemi the emergency healthcare that could have saved her life.
