The Kwara State Hospitals Management Board on Thursday spoke on the accident involving a vehicle of the Nigerian Correctional Services which rammed into traders at Oja Oba Ilorin.
Seven victims suffered varying degrees of injuries and were rushed to the General Hospital Ilorin for treatment.
Two of the victims were later discharged after assessments and treatment, while the remaining five (5) were placed on admission. They are all in stable condition. Two of them sustained fractures and have been scheduled for surgery.
This is contained in a statement by the Press Secretary of the Kwara Hospitals Management Board Halimat Zulu-Gambari.
“General Hospital Ilorin has been directed by the Kwara State Hospitals Management Board to waive all medical and prescription fees of the victims, given the circumstances of the sad incident.
“The Hospitals Management Board wishes all the victims safe recoveries,” the statement said.
