Netizens have been expressing their reactions to a circulated video featuring Ibijoke Sanwo Olu, the First Lady of Lagos State. In the video she made a connection, between the elevator accident at General Hospital Odan, Lagos Island, where Dr. Vwaere Diaso tragically lost her life and an "arrow fired into the health family."
Reports indicate that Diaso was inside the elevator when the incident occurred on Tuesday as she was heading to collect her food from a dispatch rider. She was swiftly taken to the hospitals emergency ward. Sadly succumbed to her injuries.
In response to this event Diasos fellow colleagues staged a protest at the hospital premises on Wednesday causing disruptions to routine activities. Additionally Dr. Benjamin Olowojebutu and Ismail Ajibowo of the Nigerian Medical Associations Lagos State Chapter instructed doctors working in government hospitals on Lagos Island to commence a strike in solidarity.
During Mrs. Sanwo Olus address to the protesters in the video she drew parallels, between this incident and a helicopter crash that took place in the state earlier on Tuesday.
She expressed her disbelief by stating, "The health family has been struck by an arrow. The first of August is forever etched in my memory... On that day we witnessed both a helicopter crash and an elevator malfunction. How? How?" "How?"
However her remarks didn't sit well with a number of Twitter users who criticized the Lagos First Lady for expressing views.
The incident was attributed to the hospital managements negligence in maintaining the elevator than any attack.
