The nurses, who defied the early morning rain in Abeokuta, chanted various songs and were armed with placards carrying inscriptions such as “End bullying of nurses, “End nurse’s brutality, bullying of nurses is not acceptable, “Zero tolerance for nurses bullying,” “Respect for nurses, Respect for care,” and “Justice for nurses, a must,” among others.

They alleged that on September 24, Nurudeen, a staff member of the hospital, reportedly slapped the student nurse at the theatre. Despite attempts to seek reparation from the government, no positive outcome was obtained.

The protesting nurses were said to have mobilised their colleagues from other parts of the state for the demonstration to register their grievance over the Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon’s unethical conduct.

Led by Comrade Adejoke Bello, the State Chairman of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, the protesters maintained that the assault was against public service rules. They demanded that the culprit be brought to justice.
