Ibijoke, the wife of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has reacted to the death of Vwaere Diaso, a female medical doctor, saying “an arrow has been fired into the health family”.

The Lagos State government has set up an inquiry team to investigate the elevator accident that killed Diaso last Wednesday.

Also, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Lagos State announced an indefinite strike, after instructing all the doctors working in the three government hospitals on the Lagos Island to down tools in protest of the death of Diaso.

Tens of House Officers at the Lagos State General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island had also protested against the death of Diaso, who reportedly fell to her death from an elevator.

The doctor’s demise has continued to attract a chorus of condemnation on social media platforms, with many Nigerians accusing the hospital’s management of negligence.

The elevator was said to have had faults which staff had frequently complained about to no avail.

While addressing the media, the governor’s wife implied that the incidents that happened on August 1 were unfortunate.

“An arrow has been fired into the health family. First of August is a day I will never forget,” she said. “The same day a helicopter crashed, the same day a lift dropped down. How? How? How?”
