As if that was not enough, the suspect was said to have recruited four of his gangs who joined him to unleash terror on other staff of the hospital.
The situation paralyzed activities in the hospital and as at the time of this report, the hospital has not been opened for operations due to fear of further attack from the suspects who is a known notorious criminal in the area.
