STOP REJECTING GUNSHOT VICTIMS, LAGOS POLICE WARN DOCTORS

…Say Action Violates Law, Offenders Risk 5-Year Jail Term

 

The Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday warned hospitals and doctors to henceforth desist from rejecting gunshot victims, saying such act constitutes a flagrant violation of an existing law.

 

Reacting to a media report on the refusal of an hospital to treat a victim who was shot and wounded by armed robbers, the police said it must be noted that doctors who do so are criminally liable on account of the provision of the Compulsory Treatment and Care of Victims Of Gunshot Act, 2017.

 

In a statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, the police said it would henceforth arrest and prosecute any medical practitioner who rejects gunshot victims on the ground of police report.

 

“The attention of the Nigeria Police, Lagos State Command, has been drawn to the Punch Newspapers publication of Monday, May 14, 2018, captioned ” Hospital rejects victim over bullet injuries.”

 

“The story goes that one Engr. Adebayo Akinwunmi, a senior engineer with an Information and Communications Technology company, was shot and wounded by armed robbers in his house at Ofada-Mokoloki, Ogun state and was brought to Reddington hospital, Ikeja for treatment only to be refused admission on the unlawful and inexcusable grounds that there was no police report.

 

“The Command considers the action of the hospital as cruel; perhaps, an indication that the hospital management may be ignorant of the “Compulsory Treatment and Care of Victims Of Gunshot Act, 2017,” Oti said.

 

He said the Act demands that every hospital in Nigeria whether public or private ‘shall accept or receive for immediate and adequate treatment with or without police clearance any person with a gunshot wounds.’

 

“The Act, however requires the hospital treating such a patient to report the fact to the nearest police station within two (2) hours of commencement of treatment,” Oti clarified.

 

He said the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgal was saddened by the allegation against the said hospital, and had henceforth directed the arrest and prosecution of any medical practitioner who violates the law.

 

“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Imohimi Edgal, saddened by the allegation against the Reddington Hospital, has directed all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers in Lagos State to henceforth arrest and diligently prosecute any medical practitioner who rejects a gunshot victim on the ground of no police report.

 

“The CP wants doctors to note that the Act recommends a 5-year-jail term for any person, hospital or authority who stands by or omits to do his bit which results in the unnecessary death of any person with bullet wounds,” Oti said.

The prophetic hall of fame and Ambassador of peace, prophet Godwin Ikuru of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry has cautioned men of God in Nigeria to stop using their office and anointing to cause chaos and restiveness through their utterances.

Speaking to newsmen today in Lagos, prophet Ikuru advised servants of God to use their offices positively to promote the unity and togetherness of Nigeria “our anointing as men of God does not give us the audacity to insult those in political offices and mr.president,it’s wrong to use our anointing and office for this purpose ,the truth is that those criticising the president can’t do better than Mr.president if given the opportunity,they can’t even become the president because they can’t even win any state in Nigeria,we should stop misusing our offices are clergies”

He enunciated that God has made servants of the the voice of the nation but it must be properly utilised “men of God are treated with utmost veneration,we should learn to use our offices positively,to guide the nation and tell those in authority the mind of God,not criticising and trying to cause confusion in the country ”

Heaven’s Script Unfolds: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s 2025 Prophecy on Pope Francis Fulfilled

Heaven’s Script Unfolds: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s 2025 Prophecy on Pope Francis Fulfilled

 

 

The world mourns Pope Francis, while a prophetic message echoes with divine accuracy.

 

 

Vatican City | April 21, 2025 — In a moment that has shaken the global Catholic community and resonated through spiritual circles worldwide, Pope Francis passed away peacefully on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88, in his Vatican residence at Casa Santa Marta.

 

At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, made the somber announcement from the Holy See:

 

“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis… At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father…”

 

But even amid the mourning, another narrative is making headlines — that of divine foresight.

 

Earlier this year, Nigerian cleric, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, released a chilling prophecy regarding a “major exit in the Vatican,” naming Pope Francis as the focus of his revelation. Delivered in a January 2025 broadcast, the prophetic message warned of an impending transition in the Catholic Church’s highest office, citing spiritual visions of the Pontiff’s declining health and heavenly summons.

Today, that prophecy has come to pass.

 

A Voice Crying in the Spiritual Wilderness

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, known for his bold prophetic utterances and spiritual insights, stated in his January message:

 

“Pray for the Vatican. I see a great change coming. The one seated shall be taken, and it shall mark a new chapter for the Church.”

 

While many took the message with caution, some believers rallied in prayer. As the months unfolded, Pope Francis’ health took a notable decline. He was admitted to Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital on February 14, 2025, for complications from bronchitis. Doctors later diagnosed him with bilateral pneumonia on February 18.

 

Despite returning to Casa Santa Marta after 38 days of hospitalization to continue recovery, the Holy Father never regained full strength.

 

The End of an Era

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, led the Catholic Church with humility, inclusiveness, and fervent compassion, championing the rights of the poor and marginalized. His papacy was marked by simplicity, progressive reforms, and a call to return to the Gospel’s core values.

 

As millions grieve, many within the prophetic community are pointing to Aitafo’s message as a profound sign of divine communication and the importance of spiritual sensitivity in turbulent times.

 

A Call to Spiritual Reflection

Prophet Kingsley, in a statement released hours after the Pope’s death, expressed his condolences while reaffirming the spiritual significance of the moment:

 

“This was not a wish — it was a word from the Spirit. Let the world understand: when God speaks, it is not to scare, but to prepare. Let us pray for the Church and its future.”

 

As the Vatican begins its formal mourning and preparations for the conclave, many eyes are now turned toward the heavens — and toward those anointed to see what lies ahead.,

Speaking to newsmen today in Lagos about Easter celebration, the prophet of the nation condemned the killing of Christians nationwide ” I want to ask, what do you gain from killings, what is the joy you derive from making people widows and widowers, making children orphans,it’s a pure act of wickedness and cruelty, how will you be killing because you want to draw the attention of the government,if there’s anything, meet the government and dialogue with the government because there’s punishment for those that kills people, because the prison is meant for them, killing should not be encouraged because it’s an evil act”

I want to enunciate that those killing Christians should desist from it because grave doom and calamity awaits them “it’s barbaric, devilish and satanic to shed blood,God is against it, humanity is against it, let’s use the reconciliatory spirit of Easter to foster national unity and togetherness to promote love and peace in our country so that we can remain an indivisible entity ”
