The Family of a suicide victim, Perekebina Biu, has cried foul refusing to believe the report of the death of their own, a father of three after few days of being quarantined due to the infectious Monkeypox disease.
Late Perekeme Biu, was confirmed dead after he was seen suspended from a rope at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state.
Family sources are blaming the management of NDUTH for negligence over his death. According to the family, the deceased was already recovering from the Monkeypox disease he contacted in Yenagoa before this sad incident.
“The late victim was in the hospital for treatment. And he was responding to treatment. But come to think about it, how did it happen? The Monkeypox victims were supposed to be in an isolated area.
“Where were the doctors, nurses and other staff? Where did he get the rope? The hospital management has a question to answer,” a family member said.
When Contacted on the development, a staff of the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, who pleaded not to be mentioned, denied any act of negligence on the part of the hospital.
The Bayelsa State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Ebitimitula Etebu, had on Monday confirmed that the victim did not die as a result of Monkeypox disease and that it was professionally and ethically wrong to reveal his identity.
However, until his death, late Biu was the Treasurer of the Agbere Youth body.
