The environs of LUTH should be sanitized. Area boys, miscreants and those under the influence should be disloged. @AkinwunmiAmbode, @jidesanwoolu, @JokeSanwoolu, @tundefashola, @MBuhari, please protect hospital staff and students.

RIP Dr Stephen Urueye#JusticeForStephen

I have been a victim of their robbery. They cane last 3yrs to the hospital, attacked the mosque inside the school and took our belongings. It was a sad Day. We proceeded to the police post just at the gate. The police men slapped one of us. Very sad #JusticeForStephen

I remember 2010 when my guy, Kazeem and I got into the hands of some fraudsters/ritualits/robbers around that Idi-Araba side that would possibly have killed us. We were behind LUTH hoping someone somewhere would save us.

Idi-Araba is really rough!

It's disheartening coming online to see this, I can't imagine what his parents r going through right now, How long will all this continues. He lived saving lives but his couldn't be saved. The system just failed one of it own. May his soul rest in peace #JusticeForStephen

May Ur soul rest in brother. Hope we get #JusticeForStephen

It is terribly disheartening to hear about the gruesome murder of a recently inducted medical doctor. I didn't know him personally but I know what it means to be cut down with your whole life ahead of you. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends #JusticeForStephen pic.twitter.com/rpQYrypqD7
