Five gunmen, suspected to be ritualists on Sunday invaded
the government hospital in Ado-Ekiti, demanding for new born babies.
They allegedly arrived at the hospital at about 1:00 a.m.
demanding for a day old babies, and beating up staff who could not give
satisfactory answer.
A senior health officer said the invaders, who were fully
armed, were rhetorically demanding for the whereabouts of a particular baby,
said to have been delivered earlier in the day.
“They got more annoyed when they were told that no baby was
available in the hospital as at the time they came, it angered then the more
and they went berserk,’’ the officer said.
This angered the men as they beat up the hospital staff and
injured some of them.
When contacted, the Chairman of Ado Local Government, Mr
Tope Olanipekun confirmed the incident, saying “this is a new twist to crime in
the area’’.
