– A shocking incident occurred at a Nigerian hospital when a man entered a female ward, removed an oxygen mask from a critically ill patient, and attempted to “heal” her through prayer. Tragically, the patient passed away shortly after.
The event, captured in a video that has gone viral on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), shows the man calmly defending his actions. When questioned about his credentials, he denied being a pastor and stated, “Oxygen is free.”
The incident has sparked outrage and widespread condemnation online, with many criticizing the man’s actions and questioning how he gained access to the hospital ward.
The video triggered a wave of reactions from concerned Nigerians, with many calling for legal action. One user, @JideWestwood, said, “Even if he was a pastor, that’s wrong. Hope he gets punished to the full extent of the law. He should be charged with first-degree murder.”
Another user, @Kalamuuu, added, “You can pray for the patient while the oxygen is still on nau.”
Some users also expressed anger over the lack of immediate intervention by hospital staff or security.
This incident has raised serious concerns about hospital security and the protection of vulnerable patients. Health professionals and legal experts are calling for stricter measures to prevent unauthorized individuals from interfering with medical care.
The public is demanding that authorities investigate the incident thoroughly and ensure that the man faces appropriate legal consequences. Many have also urged families to remain vigilant and question unauthorized interventions, even under religious or spiritual pretexts.
As the video continues to circulate, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by unqualified individuals interfering with critical medical care.
