While the Nigerian police has not made an official statement yet concerning the matter, ace Nigerian artiste Falz has condemned the careless attitude to which the Garki hospital, Abuja handled her when she came calling for treatment.
If somebody has a gunshot wound and they are brought to your hospital, you are supposed to treat them, not ask for any f*cking police report. Even if na suspected armed robber, Who are you to deprive them of the right to stay alive? Let the court pass judgment.

A serving youth corper passing out tomorrow shot dead by a policeman and no word from the NYSC body?
Human lives mean nothing in Nigeria.
It's not normal. This has to stop.
We don't need police anymore, they are the danger we seek protection from.— Paul Mogbolu (@Iammisterpaul) July 4, 2018
NYSC should be scrapped. It has lost its relevance.
