“Rather than pay his bills, even after he was given discounts as requested, Okona absconded from the hospital by scaling the perimeter fence. It added that a superior police officer who learnt about the matter cautioned Cpl. Okona and asked him to pay his outstanding medical bills. “They were in transit for more than three hours driving around parts of Anambra while Ekweogwu was being threatened to `settle’ with Cpl. Okona before getting to the police station, but he refused,’’ the NMA stated.
“After Dr Ekweogwu was released, Cpl. Okona threatened verbally that he would use other means to get back at him if the matter was not handled to his satisfaction by the police,’’ it added. “A 72-hour ultimatum is hereby given for a satisfactory response to these demands, failing which we shall seek legal redress.
