First Lady of Lagos State, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has attributed the elevator accident that killed a female doctor, Vwaere Diaso to a spiritual attack.
Mrs Sanwo-olu, while addressing the media, implied that the incident was caused by a “spiritual attack” against the health sector.
In a now-viral video, Ibijoke also linked the incident to the jet accident in the state on Tuesday while seeking answers from the crowd.
Her words:
“An arrow has been fired into the health family. First of August is a day I will never forget. The same day a helicopter crashed, the same day a lift dropped down. How? How? How?”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State government has set up an inquiry team to investigate the elevator accident that killed Diaso.
Also, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Lagos State announced an indefinite strike after instructing all the doctors working in the three government hospitals on Lagos Island to down tools in protest of the death of Diaso.
Tens of House Officers at the Lagos State General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island, had also protested against the death of Diaso, who reportedly fell to her death from an elevator.
The doctor’s demise has continued to attract a chorus of condemnation on social media platforms, with many Nigerians accusing the hospital’s management of negligence.
The elevator was said to have had faults which staff had frequently complained about to no avail.
