A House Officer at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Urueye Stephen aka Sarutobi, who just graduated from the University of Lagos on Tuesday, April 2nd, is dead. Sarutobi was stabbed by some robbers.
Reports have it that Sarutobi was walking along Idi Araba road when the robbers stopped and accosted him. They proceeded to stab him before carting away his properties.
Adeyeye Olorunfemi, the deceased’s friend and former UNILAG SUG president, has taken to Facebook to mourn him.
”And we lost Stephen.
We lost this young Doctor who wants to save lives to insecurity.
He died 24 hours after his graduation. After 8 years of struggle in the jungle called Nigeria.
He was stabbed by armed robbers and died of stab wounds right in front of a government teaching hospital- LUTH.
Stab wounds!
The medical students said they have always complained about the frequent robbery attacks around and on the College of Medicine, Idi-Araba Campus but the Management keep turning deaf ears.
You know ‘noisemakers’ like us like to protest. But you don’t want to protest because you don’t want to die.
Events have shown us that you don’t have to partake in any protest before you die in Nigeria. Just be a Nigerian!
We are all in this together.
My heart is heavy!
This is sad!
#BlackFriday”
