Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has ordered an investigation and arrests against health workers who allegedly sold donated hospital equipment, according to sources. The governor denounced the act as a serious case of misconduct and corruption, emphasizing the lack of concern for patients and healthcare needs in the region.
On Wednesday, Sule officially inaugurated several officials at the Government House in Lafia when he directed Commissioner for Health Dr Gaza Gwamna to investigate the case and ensure that those found responsible face prosecution. The donated items, including mattresses and fans, were supposedly purchased by Honorable Member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly for Umaisha/Ugya Constituency, Ibrahim Abdullahi Sa'ad, using his personal funds.
Sa'ad expressed concern over the condition of patients and requested to see the missing equipment after learning that they had been moved to different wards. A confrontation between Sa'ad and hospital staff occurred on Monday, which was captured on video as he questioned hospital officials about the whereabouts of the donated items.
The state Ministry of Health is tasked with determining what happened to the donated equipment and identifying those responsible.
