A level 200 law student at the University of Ghana, identified as Nana Obeng Owusu Junior, has been allegedly killed in the Ewim Polyclinic in Cape Coast by a nurse for administering an unknown medicine to him.
The incident is said to have occurred on Monday, October 9, 2023, at about 8 p.m.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs. Nelly Mills, disclosed to the media that she sent her son to the aforementioned hospital for first aid because her son felt he needed a nebulizer because he was an asthmatic patient.
“We went to the hospital around 8 pm and the alleged nurse by name Mike at emergency asked us why we were here. Later wrote a medicine on the sheet for me to go which I left Nana Obeng and his brother sitting there cracking jokes when leaving. Within 2 minutes after buying the medicine, I saw my son dead and the nurse confirmed he injected him. We came in for nebulizer and not injection which you wrote for me to go and buy I asked” the Mum said.
According to the mother of the deceased, who said, “within 20 minutes after the death of her son, the hospital called an ambulance to send the body to the UCC mortuary without the consent of any family members, and I even asked them to release the body for me, but the hospital hesitated”,
“We went to the morgue right after only to find out my son was embalmed meaning it will be very difficult for even autopsy to prove the particular substance which killed my son” the mother narrated.
Sources say the alleged nurse is still moving around without any Police invitation after reporting the case a day after the incident.
