On
Friday Oct 21, 2011, the most unfortunate thing happened to a nurse at
the Rivers State School of Health, Port harcourt. An HIV patient bathed
his counsellor and staff of the health institution, Mrs Ibuwari George,
in acid.
The
attacker (a man in his forties) had scheduled an appointment with his
counsellor that day, for further counselling on the effects of the drugs
he was taking, and not suspecting any ulterior motive, Mrs George, who
is a counsellor for HIV infected mothers and children agreed to the
session. A few minutes into the meeting, the dying HIV patient, without provocation, poured a whole tin of acid on the unsuspecting nurse.
Prior
to this unholy visit, the patient was said to have been calling and
complaining of same feeling to which the innocent nurse had counseled
him to keep faith with the prescribed drugs. He had earlier been
certified sick with very low blood count after a test was conducted on him which prompted his being placed on drugs for boosting etc.
And
since he was placed on blood boosting drugs, he was always calling and
keeping his counselor posted on the developments but on this
particular call, this wicked agent
of death seeking for treatment of HIV infection, rather than make do
with the nurse’s usual advice and encouragement went gagger,
discharging a whole tin of acid on the unsuspecting nurse who is still
hospitalized and writhing in pains.
Targeting his victim, the patient was said to have waited
patiently until Mrs Ibuwari Geroge came back from her lunch break and
while explaining to her how he had fared so far, suddenly opened a bag
he carried and brought out a tin which he instantaneously discharged on
her and which turned out to be acid.
Mrs
Ibuwari shattered at this point, had a hell of raw deal with her
clothes and parts of body torn. Largely affected were her chest and
lower parts of her breasts.
In the midst of the commotion aroused, staff and other visitors attracted to the scene descended on the blood thirsty HIV patient and would have lynched him to death but for the quick intervention of rescuers.
He has since been handed over to the police.
