Father stabs nurse over death of his one - year old son in Delta
The police in Delta state have arrested a bereaved father
for allegedly stabbing a nurse at the Sapele Central Hospital in Delta State,
over what he described as the health worker's complacency which led to the
death of his one year old son.
Sahara Reporters
reports that the man, whose identity wasn't disclosed by the police, went into
a rage when he received the news of the passing of his sick one year old child.
He picked up a sharp object and vowed to kill the nurses, accusing them of causing
his son's death.
Sources at the
hospital said the son’s health had deteriorated before he was brought to the
hospital. However, the child was
stabilised and admitted but the case got worse and the child died eventually.
“He first gave the
nurse a headbutt and the lady fell. He beat her up and brought out an object.
He attempted to stab her in the neck, but the lady dodged it and the object
landed on her ear and almost cut it off.
When people raised
the alarm, he rushed back to the children ward and fled with the baby’s corpse.
The management of the hospital reported it to the police” the source said
