10 Doctors Injured as Security Men Clash With Resident Doctors in LUTH

No fewer than 10 doctors sustained injuries after a clash with some security men at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).


Adebayo Sekunmade, President of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), told journalists that the doctors sustained the injuries as they attempted to take over their secretariat from the security men stationed there by the management of the hospital.
Sekunmade said one of his members was ordered out of the association’s secretariat at 2 am on Tuesday by security men.
We decided to monitor developments around the secretariat after the incident. On Wednesday morning, we saw the security men loading our belongings from there into a waiting bus,” he said.
When we confronted them, they said that they were directed to lock up the secretariat by the management of LUTH.“We went to the chief medical director’s office for dialogue but he refused to attend to us. He, however, directed us to the chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of LUTH.”
Sekunmade said Olufemi Fasanmade, the CMAC, told them that the management of LUTH was retrieving the secretariat from the association.

He said he demanded a court order from Fasanmade to justify his action but he could not present it.
When contacted, the CMAC told journalists that ARD has been given a notice for it to vacate the building it uses as its secretariat six months ago, The Cable reports.
Nine days ago; we gave them another letter as a reminder to leave the building but they refused, and we decided to lock up the place,” he said.
Fasanmade said the association should not have found it hard to vacate one of the seven accommodations it had within the hospital complex, insisting that the hospital management wanted to use it for an important purpose.
The doctors wanted to forcefully enter the building on Wednesday’s morning and LUTH’s security men had to disallow them.
Fasanmade alleged that the doctors attacked the security officials.
We had to invite some police officers from the Ilasamaja and Bode Thomas Police Stations to secure the building and other LUTH’s belongings,” he said.
Some of the injured security officials are in the hospital wards receiving treatment.”
