Lagos State Government Opens Investigation Over Rico Swavey Viral Video

Lagos State Government has opened an investigation over Rico Swavey viral video.

 

Glamtush reports that following the Rico Swavey viral video trending on Twitter, the Lagos State government has opened an investigation into the unprofessional conduct of Doren Hospital Ajah and its staff.

In the video sighted by Glamtush,  nurses and medical staff believed to be of Doren Hospital Ajah Lagos were seen recording a video of Big Brother Naija season 3 housemate, Rico Swavey on oxygen instead of attending to him.

In its reaction to the Rico Swavey video, the Lagos State government in a statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said the state government had commenced investigation.

He said, “That hospital is not a government hospital; we have started an investigation into the unprofessional conducts of those who appeared in that video.”

In the video, nurses and medical staff of the hospital were heard laughing out loud and recording a video of an accident victim (Rico) instead of administering medical care to him while in a coma.

The video which is currently trending on Twitter has now garnered widespread condemnation from members of the public and netizens who also took turns sharing their ugly experiences at various other hospitals including Lagos University Teaching Hospital – LUTH and other hospitals across the country.

In the Rico Swavey video seen by this reporter, it was observed that the nurses were attempting to carry him on a bed in his unconscious state when one of them brought out a phone and began recording him.

Meanwhile, another nurse was heard cautioning her colleague against the act.

“You people should stop making the video; somebody is dying, you people are making video,” the nurse said.

This online platform recalls that a fellow ex-housemate in Big Brother Naija Season 3, Alex Asogwa better known as Alex Unusual, who shared the news on her Twitter page on Tuesday, said doctors were trying to resuscitate him.

However, Rico Swavey succumbed to death following the degree of injuries he sustained from the auto accident on Thursday morning.
