At least 10 persons were killed and 24 injured after
suicide bombers attacked the St. Finbarr’s Catholic Church in Rayfield
area of the crisis-prone Jos on March 10.
On Sunday night suspected Fulani herdsmen killed two
anti-riot policemen attached to the Special Task Force, Palang in Bachit
District of Riyom Local Government Area, and two others wounded when
suspected Boko Haram members attacked the Police College in the Plateau
State capital.
Apparently alarmed by the developments, Pam said JUTH
was also vulnerable as it had been treating bomb blast victims and
arrested suspected bombers.
The CMD in Jos on Wednesday, “Our institution is at
the mercy of these bombers because we handle the cases of both the
attackers and the attacked. In fact, a brawl was averted in one of the
wards when a woman made a very careless statement. But for the
intervention of senior doctors around, the situation would have been
terrible.
“Everybody has access to the hospital and we cannot
say that we won’t accept some patients because our duty is to save life,
no matter who is involved. The Police bring in suspects for treatment
without our knowledge and this is threatening the security of the
hospital.”
He said despite the security arrangements by the
management of the hospital there was a need for the police and other
security agencies to give JUTH priority attention given the threat to
lives in the state.
