Good Samaritan cries out after Lagos hospitals refused to treat accident victim and detained him
A photographer has cried out after three different hospitals in Lagos rejected an accident victim he rescued.
The photographer added that he had been locked inside the last hospital he visited because he got tired and dropped the victim on their premises.
He said he was on his way home from work late last night when he saw a man lying on the road, bleeding.
He said those present had called emergency services multiple times but nothing had been done.
He added that he took the victim in his car and asked the police officers who were at the scene to accompany him to the hospital.
He said they visited three hospitals, which refused to take the victim in.
He added that the third hospital claimed they had no bed space and the police officers got angry and asked hospital staff to treat the injured man there in the car. However, the staff refused.
At his wit’s end, the Good Samaritan said he left the injured man in the hospital premises and made to leave but the hospital ordered security to lock the gate and refuse to let him leave unless he carried the injured man with him.
A video of the injured man has been shared on Instagram.
The story caught the attention of Actress Kehinde Bankole, who shared it and called on the Lagos State Government to act fast.
