Factual Pursuit of Truth for Progress
There has been an outpour of grief, anger and reactions over the Update circulating the media about what happened at the hospital where Rico Swavey was taken to.
A Update made its way to social media yesterday following Rico’s death.
In the Update, some health officials were laughing and making videos of the deceased when he was brought in for treatment.
Another nurse was seen urging her colleagues to pay attention to the dying man. One of them refused to assist while others present were laughing behind the camera.
A nurse indicated that the deceased’s oxygen is low and needs to be attended to swiftly. However, they ignored it. The nurse said, “His oxygen is 90%. You people should stop making Update and let’s move him. Somebody is in critical condition and you’re making videos.”
In reaction to this, a few celebrities have discharged their anger on the hospital saying they deserve hell and everything beyond it.
Alex Unusual who is still grieving the loss of her friend said she hated the hospital and their staff and how they wasted the life of her friend.
Alex wrote, “My God punish these hospitals that take time to start working on people that are rushed to hospitals!!!
“I hate you all!! You are all horrible!! You’ve cause us so much pain all for what?
“What is money that you let lives go like this by stalling? I HATE YOU!!!!

AY Makun’s wife, Mabel, described the act as foolishness. She wrote, “The foolishness of some individuals in Nigeria is appalling. How do you even remember your phone camera in a life and death situation? Bloggers are worse off must you all repost everything??”
Uti Nwachukwu reacted saying Nigeria failed Rico as always. He said the hospital needs to be held accountable for their negligence.
