An 18year old nurse raped in Lagos hospital by armed robbers

THE HOSPITAL

Firstclass newsline learnt that after carting away valuables of
patients, they also raped an 18-year-old auxiliary nurse in the
hospital.
The incident happened around 4am on Thursday.
A source was told that it was the third time the robbers would attack
the hospital in a year.
It was learnt that the robbers stormed the hospital around 3am,
scaling the fence before gaining entrance.
They also reportedly overpowered a 19-year old security guard in the
hospital and tied him with ropes before locking him up in a room.
A source said the worker on night duty were attacked and injured and
when the robbers failed to make appreciable looting, they resorted to
raping the auxiliary nurse in turns.
He said, "The girl was actually the one who went to the police station
to report. She accused the management of the hospital of dereliction
of duty and said she was raped by the men.
"She also alleged that the owner of the hospital did not provide
adequate security for his workers and subjected her to mental torture
by losing her virginity through rape."
He added that the medical director of the hospital was arrested, but
later released on bail.
The hospital's medical director, Dr. Ademola Dominic, confirmed the
incident to a source , but said the victim was not raped.
He also said he was never arrested by the police.
He said, "It is an everyday affair here. The robbers come to the
street almost every time to rob residents. It is the third time they
would come to the hospital. They came in and dispossessed patients of
their valuables.
"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?
"I am doing all these because of the girl. And if it is her parents or
anybody that spreading wrong information, I don't think I am to blame.
I have already tried my best."
He said security had been beefed up in the area to forestall a recurrence.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said he was not
aware of any incident at the hospital.
