All hell was let loose at the isolation centre in Kwanar Dawaki, Kano State on Thursday as COVID-19 patients attacked some medical personnel, locking some of them up for four hours.
•Gombe suspected cases stage fresh protest over ‘poor welfare’The patients were protesting alleged poor conditions in which they were kept.
The victims, dressed in their personal protection equipment at the time, were on a routine ward round check when the patients struck, according to Mohammed.After four hours of searing heat in the room, the victims had to force open the door to regain their freedom. He claimed that for the one week they had been quarantined at the centre, they had not been subjected to any medical examination to determine if they had the virus or not.
Magaji, writing on his Facebook wall, said: “Dear all, I do truly apologise to you not getting across to me on phone or messages. I have been indisposed due to ongoing health challenges some of us are going through in Kano. In Sha Allah, it will be well. A Federal Government medical team is currently in the state investigating the problem and helping to arrest the situation. It is being assisted by health experts from the World Health Organisation .
