The Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered full enforcement of the Gunshot Victims Act 2017.
According to a statement issued by Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP told all medical practitioners in Nigeria to provide prompt and compassionate treatment to all victims of gunshot and accident, irrespective of the presence or absence of a police report.
“The IGP’s decision comes as a response to the relentless outcry from concerned citizens and the broader community, highlighting the tragic consequences of delays in treating these victims. The IGP underscores the moral duty and responsibility of medical practitioners to uphold the sanctity of life and provide life-saving care to those in need aiming to bridge the gap between law enforcement agencies and healthcare providers, facilitating a more efficient and compassionate response to emergency situations, and curbing crimes by fulfilling their obligation to invite the Police for assessment while treatment is ongoing.
