According to the young lady who has put the blame for
her trauma on the doorsteps of the Egan, Ikotun Igando Local Council
Development Area (LCDA), Lagos State located hospital, for not providing
adequate security.
The robbers reportedly had
easily gained access into the hospital located at Santa Maria Street in
the area, after scaling the fence at about 3am, overpowered the security
guard and tied him with ropes before locking him up in a room. They
then proceeded to raid the hospital, taking turns to rape the girl and other nurses, injuring many of them in the process, before carting away valuables.
Bola narrated how she lost her virginity to the four gang menafter four robbers who stormed the hospital, took turn to rape her.
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.
Hear him:
"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?"
