Pregnant Woman Dies After Police Supposedly Detained Specialist Who Was To Operate Her.

Officials of the Nigerian Police Force, Lagos order supposedly deferred a specialist who was on crisis call while implementing check in time in the State along these lines causing the demise of a pregnant lady and her kid.

The pregnant lady and her child kicked the bucket after the specialist who should work on the mother was purportedly kept by Lagos cops upholding time limitation in the state.

As per reports by The PUNCH, the specialist was held for about an hour on Airport Road, Ikeja, Lagos State, for abusing the Covid-19 time limit.

The specialist had clarified that she was on a crisis call however the officials allegedly wouldn’t hear her out requests.

At the point when the specialist was inevitably delivered, she showed up at the medical clinic to find that the pregnant mother and her unborn kid were dead.

The occurrence occurred on Monday, August 31, 2020, at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, Surulere.

The perished was recognized uniquely as Mistura.

An observer who addressed the distribution said the female specialist separated in tears when she saw there was nothing she could do to spare Mistura and her child.

The witness said:

“The doctor is a woman. In fact, she was also ill and was placed on a drip at home when she was called for the emergency.

“Because her car was bad, she got a cabman to take her to the hospital. She left her house around past 9 pm.

“Around 10.15 pm, they got to the under bridge around Airport Road, where they met the policemen. They had been stopped by other policemen before they got to that spot. But when she showed them her ID card, they allowed her to pass.

“But these ones refused. After she showed one of them her ID card and said she was on an emergency to see a patient who was between life and death, the policeman ordered the driver to park. He took her ID card and asked her to prove she was on an emergency.

“She went to meet another member of the team and begged him that she needed to leave immediately and that the life of her patient was at risk. She was in a nightgown; she could not even change when she got the call. But the second policeman shunned her.

“The policeman said she was foolish and she was a prostitute because a doctor would never dress the way she was dressed. She begged them and explained the circumstances but they refused to listen and demanded the emergency letter.”

The source added:

“There were four policemen on duty that night. Only one was on mufti. Their tags were not visible because they wore overalls. They saw the drip in the doctor’s hand; she was risking her life to save another person but they never allowed her.”
