Sir,

The unanswered query to UUTH

It is a pity that up till today and even after the burial of one of our heroes, late former governor Obong Akpan Isemin, the query given by His Excellency Chief (Dr.) Godswill Obot Akpabio to the management of University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, UUTH, has not been made public. Soon after Obong Akpan Isemin’s death was made public, governor Akpabio had ordered to be given, within 72-hours, on how Isemin met his untimely death at that hospital. The query insinuated that he died out of carelessness of the hospital.

The media would be doing the masses so well, if this letter becomes published. It is important to know if Isemin was (or not) murdered through carelessness of the UUTH management as conveyed by the tone of the query. Public needs to know the truth.
