Seven persons have been arrested in connection with the alleged destruction of properties of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba.
Samuel Jinadu, the Lagos State Police Command Spokesman, told journalists on Monday that the suspects were arrested for attacking the hospital and damaging some properties belonging to the institution.
Jinadu explained that some unidentified gunmen had, last week Tuesday, engaged each other in a shootout along Temple Street in Bariga, during which four persons were hit by stray bullets.
“The four victims were rushed to LUTH where doctors on duty struggled to save them but two of the victims were confirmed dead,” he said. “The relations of the deceased became enraged and therefore attacked the hospital and damaged some of its properties.”
He said police officers were drafted from Ikeja Police Division to the scene of the crime and arrested the seven suspects. According to him, the suspects have been taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Panti, Yaba, for interrogation.
