Some members of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) FMC Abeokuta Chapter have rubbished the alleged claims of an attempted murder case involving Nurse Odusola by the Head of Nursing Service in the hospital, Nurse Abosede Fagoyinbo.

The clarification followed the viral story of Inspector General of Police directing investigation into the allegation.

 

NANNM Members, in a statement, described the allegation as baseless and damaging.

They explained that Nurse Odusola is hale and hearty against  the are unfounded claims of life threatening injury being speculated in some quarters.

Some of the concerned nurses said they were eyewitnesses who attended the meeting where Nurse Odusola's negligence and unethical practices were discussed.

According to them, the claims as propaganda and does not represent what actually transpired during the meeting. 

One member said, "Nurse Odusola was admitted separately for her health issues, which she's known for. We discussed her inaction on turning down patients, and there's no truth to claims of pushing, collapsing, or bleeding."

The members blamed management's silence for allowing online bloggers to hijack the process.

They, however, warned against spreading false rumors, noting that certified nurses wouldn't uphold indiscipline and unethical conduct. 

It will be recalled that the hospital management had announced that it is investigating and cautioned the public against making comments on the matter pending the outcome of the exercise.
