SAN FRANCISCO, July 01, (THEWILL) – Gunmen on Wednesday morning attacked the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Lokoja, Kogi State, carting away computers and other sensitive materials from the administrative department of the health institution.
The gunmen who stormed the place in large numbers carted away laptops and phones of staffers and patients and some vital documents.
They operated for about thirty minutes and left the scene with victims crying for help.
There has been no love lost between the management of the FMC Lokoja and the Kogi State government over perceived differences on the latter’s stance on the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the state governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello has continued to hold on to the view that the Coronavirus disease remains a hoax, personnel at the medical centre appear not to be on the same page with him.
Intact, the FMC management was getting ready for a press conference, which insiders say is on the real condition of the state regarding the coronavirus, when the attack occurred.
