“The state specialist hospital was the first hospital we brought them to but because of the high casualty figure, the hospital facility was overstretched so we took some of them to Bingham University Teaching Hospital and Our Lady of Apostle Hospital,” the north-central zonal coordinator of NEMA, Mr. Mohammed Abdulsalami, said.
“Normally when situations like this occur, we know that there are emergency items that are required in the hospitals such as bandages that will first of all be applied to the victims to arrest the bleeding. So we were able to provide all that.
“Why we are here now is to monitor the situation and to enquire from the hospital management what more they require so that we could forward their request to Abuja for the items to be made available immediately,” he added.
