The Federal Neuropsychiatry Hospital, Enugu has placed a male nurse, Alozie Ejimadu on three months suspension for allegedly injecting a patient and supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan with powerful sleeping drugs during the March 28,2015 election, Daily Post reports...Read his full statement after the break:
Ejimadu, after injecting the patient, took to his Facebook wall and boasted that the patient would sleep till the result was announced.
He posted:“The announcement of the presidential election has reached a crescendo, a patient cried, saying she is unhappy because Jona lost. I didn’t hesitate to silence her with injection paraldehyde 10ml stat; chlorpromazine 150mg and IV diazepam 20mg stat.
“This will keep her sleeping till tomorrow when the final result is announced. Anybody who dare thinks like my patient will certainly receive a double dose (ARA GBAKA KWA NDI ARA AHU- those mad people should get mad the more)”
It was gathered that a non-governmental organisation, Centre for the Right of Psychiatric Patient, irked by the post, petitioned the board chairman of the hospital.
“Mr. Alozie’s activity is unbecoming of a psychiatric nurse. We demand the hospital to remove him from the clinical area; suspend him to identify the patient and assess possible damage,” the petition read.It was gathered that following the petition, the head of clinical services, in a letter dated May 7, sent Ejimadu packing.
The nurse has since denied the allegation claiming that his Facebook post was fictional
That inhuman as such his license should be withdrawn indefinitely as warning to others
