The staff of Pantang Hospital has hit the streets to demonstrate over concerns of insecurity being caused by land guards.
According to leaders of the staff, there has been encroachment of the hospital’s lands by private individuals in recent years.
As a result, land guards have eventually come to the area, making life insecure for the staff.
Displeased with the situation, the staff of the Pantang Hospital have staged a protest that started from the Pantang Junction to the Hospital.
Calling on the government to take serious their safety, the staff held various placards with inscriptions such as “No protection, No work”, and “Our safety is paramount”.
The staff of Pantang Hospital threatens that if their safety is not prioritized they will put down their tools and strike until the situation is resolved.
Meanwhile, the former Assembly Member for the Pantang Electoral area, Alhaji Baba Pantang says he believes the protestors have blown a minor situation into a huge proportion.
According to him, it is not right for the protesters to be shooting at the buildings of private individuals who are occupying the land when they have already been an engagement on the matter.
