According to him, the management has stationed four armed police men at the Accident and Emergency as well as two armed policemen at the main gate to strengthen security of the hospital until further notice.
He pointed out that the Divisional Police Officer in incharge of Oke-Ila Division, SP Sesan Falade has also assured of frequent patrol of the Hospital premises.
Also the EKSUTH boss noted that the Management and the DPO had met with the State Chairman of Road Transport Employer Association of Nigeria Mr Sunday Adeola and mandated him to produce the ring leader because the Management heard that the person involved is a member of the Association.
