ABEOKUTA–The management of the Federal Medical Center (FMC), Abeokuta has frown at the continuous attack on its medical personnels and destruction of hospital properties by members of the public.
The acting Medical Director, Dr. Fidelis Ojeblenu made this known Tuesday while reacting to the recurrent assault on the healthcare workers in the centre, adding that the management under his watch will not tolerate the threats and breaches of safety and security of lives and properties of the healthcare team.
He noted that the management of the centre would do everything possible to ensure that culprits are made to face the consequences of their actions.
“We have overhaul the security architecture of the hospital in readiness to forestall future occurrences. Plain clothed security agents are on ground to apprehend future culprits

He also added that complaint about perceived ill-treatment from medical workers should be channeled to the right lawful avenues, instead of patients and their relatives taking laws into their hands.
