A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has berated the National Hospital, Abuja over the transfer of the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, to a Lagos hospital.

Justice Okon Abang berated the hospital while ruling in an application for adjournment brought by Metuh’s Counsel, Emeka Etiaba (SAN) in Abuja yesterday.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the Judge said the matter was first adjourned on account of a medical report from the National Hospital, adding that though the hospital report did not state the bed rest duration, it should have informed the court that the defendant had been transferred to another hospital.

Justice Abang said it was on the strength of the hospital’s report that the case was last adjourned.

He decried the action of the hospital and threating that because the court was treated with levity, it might not be inclined to receive any medical report from it henceforth.
