Bereaved father allegedly stabs nurse over death of his one-year-old son in Delta

A bereaved father reportedly went violent at the Sapele Central Hospital in Delta State after he was told that his son had died as he went on to stab a nurse whom he blamed for his son’s death.

Sahara Reporters reports that the man, whose identity wasn’t disclosed by the police following his arrest, went into a rage when he received the news of the passing of his sick one-year-old child. He picked up a sharp object and vowed to kill the nurses, accusing them of causing his son’s death.

Sources at the hospital said the son’s health had deteriorated before he was brought to the hospital.  However, the child was stabilised and admitted but the case got worse and the child died eventually. 

“He first gave the nurse a headbutt and the lady fell. He beat her up and brought out an object. He attempted to stab her in the neck, but the lady dodged it and the object landed on her ear and almost cut it off.

“When people raised the alarm, he rushed back to the children ward and fled with the baby’s corpse. The management of the hospital reported it to the police” the source said
