My heart kept bleeding for the family of Akunyili. I've encountered him once, he's such a nice man with a large heart, a good one to a fault & so humble. A philanthropist & medical expert that have saved many lives on the ground of charity. A man that have saved many accident victims on highway, take them to his hospital if close & treat for free.

Dr.Chike would have survived that fatal shot if not for onlookers who were busy making videos of him. What has social media turn people into? Such thing don't happen in the Western world.
Medical experts analyzed that his brain wasn't affected but left to die after struggle.

If only we can stop this madness when people need help than making videos.

Its so sad sincerely speaking reading about the gruesome murder of the doctor recently....
In all honesty if you are in the crime scene OP what would you have done in that kind of scenario

I concur with that, however if he had survived his face would have been unrecognisable, he would need reconstructive surgery,artificial teeth and jaw bone,, he would probably be unable to eat solid food for a long time.,not to talk about months and months of rehabilitation, memory loss, loss of one eye, permanent retirement,,etc...

I'll help of course, not bragging. I've been in such scenario. Even the the late Dr Chike has been there.

It will only cost money, which the family can afford.

Some years back. A car in front of me caught fire and people was busy with there phone doing one funny video. Instead of them to help extinguish the fire.
I was shocked to my bone marrow. just wondering.

Correct it I saw it too but got your message nonetheless

Onlookers?
Who would dare help the victim of known gunmen and be declared a Sabo?

That case is different, there is no risk of death if the people had helped.
But in this case, helping the victim may make the witnesses target of the next killing.

The man can't survive that attack, it was very deadly

Please don't blame the on-lookers...Na NIGERIA we dey.....I've seen situations where good samaritans helped accident victims and they were later arrested by the Police... Just imagine the rubbish..

human beings have lost their sense of value... all they chase is clout at any cost, it's very sad and the blame should be on those onlookers for real.

I smashed someone's phone in a similar scenario and the person no smell me. My eyes were all red like near me make you die.

That's one thing.

@op it seems your brain is paining you.

When will Nigerians start reasoning like people with functioning brain?

If there is anyone to blame it is the government both past and present.

Why did I say so:

1. if past and present governments had fixed our health system, passerby would have called ambulance to come get him. The EMT would have started treating or at least stabilize him before taking him to the hospital thereby increasing his chance of surviving.

2. If the past and present governments had improved security and provide opportunity for the army of jobless youths, the chances of him being targeted would have been reduced.

As for the passerby, you want them to take him to the hospital that will reject him without police report.

In the cause of trying to get a police report if he dies, the police will arrest the good Samaritans. The helper will be held for murder and accused of assassination and forced to cough out a large amount of money before being set free.

This brings us to point 3. If the past and present governments had made genuine effort in cleaning the police force ordinarily citizens won't think twice to help victims and hospitals on their part won't turn back such victims for lack of police reports.

Yes, I put all the blame on the government on our demonic politicians that over the years have done nothing but rape and blunder this country. The blood of untimely death of any Nigerian due to factors related to the governments not doing their jobs either in the past or present is on the head of the politicians and their families.

Well, you've made your point young man or whoever you are but very disappointing & shameful that you would have to start off with an insult.

Learn to be civil, very helpful. It'll take you far. Thanks.

not really.our law enforcement are primarily out to judge/ pronounce anyone guilty just by seeing u at the crime scene area. Assisting an injured/dead victim of crime invariably makes the helper number one suspect by nigeria law enforcement, as if the perpetrator if the crime waits at the scene after committing the said crime to hold briefs with law enforcement. The problem comes from the Nigeria government not setting standards by employing semi- illiterate into the millitary/paramilitary by employing o level holders in the force. I saw a video where soldiers shot, killedand stabbed shites Muslims yesterday for going on procession

Sorry if you find it insultative I was trying to lighten the mood before talking about the sad and sorry state of our country.

By the way it seems you are new on this forum you shouldn't take everything people say here to heart or else you go just cause more problems for yourself ontop the one wey Buhari don drop for everyone.

when no paramedics to perform first aid, the bad roads won't help matters, a medical helicopter will be better but worse off all is the possibility that no hospital is equipped to handle such
Truth is with that extensive damage and poor infrastructure (medical) he most likely wouldn't survived the trip to the hospital

Onlookers with gun or without gun? Abeg sidon one side..

If you see the gun shot effect... Either they help or not... It would be a miracle if the man survived the shot.... The injury was terrible... His face was ripped off.... I cant even understand the kinda calibre used... Maybe a shot gun or double barrel. The murder was barbaric

Don't mind them... seeing him struggling was really painful even though he won't survive it, but that's simply the picture of how Nigeria is which our Politicians has paid deaf and dumb to. Is it today...how many people has been left to to die of even minor injury that could be treaded to spare their life...

It's really painful

It is not a rocket science that people are always warry of helping victims of such and that is becos of our Security personnel.

It is a very difficult sitn - u and I know that if he dies in the process of taking him to the hospital trust me the helper would spend a long time in incarceration and Plenty of money that is of the person even survives it becos of the calibre of person he is.

Police would be very fast to label such person as their suspect arrested abi no b our over zealous police officers.

As much as I would like to condem the act of leaving victims of such and not helping, we also need to address the root cause which is our police officers including hospitals that would hold u down incase of any unfortunate thing
