The Eyes Of God ( 3)
Continued from Saturday, January 6, 2024
IT is a happy thing that time quells the longings of vengeance and the promptings of rage and aversion. For how could one explain the next development in Doctor Williams’ life? Exactly three months later, Agbako the lion, the notorious kingpin of the armed robbers gang that robbed him was involved in a near fatal accident while cruising about in one of his jeeps. He was seriously injured and in critical condition and he was immediately rushed to Genesis Hospital for treatment. The same hospital he had robbed three months earlier. Wonders shall never cease!
Dr. Williams was dumbfounded and shocked when he realized the fact that the new emergency patient brought to his hospital was the kingpin of robbers who robbed him of money and valuables about three months ago. Surprise! Awe and more surprises! The handsome, kind- hearted and benevolent doctor wasted no time in administering life- saving treatment to the armed robber who was on danger list. From all indications, Agbako the lion didn’t know where he was as he was bleeding profusely and also in coma. He was rushed to the emergency ward. The doctor administered the life- support oxygen machine when it seemed the armed robber would die after all. The nurses and other assistant doctors all went into action by the orders of Dr. Williams, who was the Medical Director.
The first day went like that as Agbako was still in coma and couldn’t raise his arms, legs or even open his eyes. The medical team at Genesis Hospital battled to save his life. All available western medical facilities were used to bring him back to life.
Surprisingly, the second day he started responding to treatment as he could now open his eyes for the first time. But he didn’t know where he was and how he got there.
By then Dr. Williams had contacted the armed robbery department at the Surulere Police Station. The crack police team and anti- robbery squad were on alert around the hospital premises. The third day was the day of pleasant surprises. The kingpin was now able to talk and he realized he was in a hospital and could guess that it was the same hospital he had robbed three months ago.
