The police boss also advised the management of the hospital to circulate the distress call numbers of the command to all members of staff so as to avoid the reoccurrence of such incident in the future.
He urged members of the hospital community to be more security conscious by putting up measures that would prevent hoodlums from gaining access to the hospital’s premises, adding that uniformed and plain cloth policemen would be deployed to the hospital and other ones for their effective protection.
