Lagos state hospital rejects MFM pastor stabbed by Badoo cult group

There are indications that a pastor with the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM), Olawale (Solomon) Anthony, whose skull was fractured by some assailants suspected to be members of the Badoo cult, was refused treatment by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

The hospital management reportedly told Pastor Olawale’s family that there was no bed space but subsequently demanded the sum of N2 million to commence treatment of the MFM pastor.

The Badoo cult group has increasingly gained notoriety for attacking residents of the Ikorodu area.

Pastor Olawale’s wife, Edith Anthony, told newsmen that one of the attackers hit her with a mortar as well before she wriggled out to call for help.

She said, “It was the cry of my baby that woke me up that night. When I woke up, I sighted a strange man in our house. He was stark n@ked and had a mortar in his hand.

“When I asked him who he was and what he was looking for, he asked me to shut up. He hit my head and shoulder with the mortar. I managed to run out and call for help.

“When he saw that people were mobilising, he fled together with his accomplice who was outside.  I shook my husband several times and saw that he was unconscious and was bleeding in the head. We rushed him to a private hospital.”

The MFM pastor was reportedly then referred to the Ikorodu General Hospital, from where he was again referred to LASUTH.

The family members said when nobody paid them attention at LASUTH, they transferred him to the General Hospital, Lagos Island.

The immediate past chairman, Orija Community Development Association, Debo Obayemi, whose car was used to convey the victim around, said “the community has been struggling to raise money, all to no avail and we don’t want him to die. He is presently at home. He needs urgent help.”

It was also gathered that the MFM church where Olawale was a pastor had sent the sum of N30,000 only, to assist the family.

The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof Wale Oke, has meanwhile denied the possibility of his hospital rejecting Pastor Olawale and directing him to go home.

“If a patient comes to the hospital and there is no bed space, what they will do is to give him first aid and refer him to another hospital,” he said.

According to the Punch, the hospital director has promised to further investigate the matter.
