Medical workers resume duties at General Hospital Ogwashi-Uku as Delta CP apologizes over assault
Doctors and other medical workers at the General Hospital Ogwashi-Uku, in Aniocha south local government area of the state have resumed duties.
This may not be unconnected to the apology by the Delta State Commissioner of Police, Wale Abass to the management of the hospital over the assault of a medical doctor by a mobile policeman as earlier reported by YourCitiNews.
In a statement by the State Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, the police boss said the officer whose identity is yet unknown acted in a manner unbecoming of a police officer, assuring the victim of justice.
“His action is inexcusable and unpardonable, and as such, he will surely be identified and dealt with accordingly,” the statement added.
The Permanent Secretary of the state health management board, Dr. Paul Okunbor who had earlier condemned the assault on the doctor had on Monday visited the hospital to have an interface with the medical team.
Medical services at the hospital had been paralyzed since last Thursday as the female doctor who is on National Youth Service was seriously beaten up by the policeman.
Other doctors in sympathy with their colleagues decided to down tool until the policeman is brought to book by the relevant authorities.
