“With the police report in their hands, when the hoodlums have encounter with the police or other security agents, the hoodlums could easily go to any available hospital and the would be treated.

“Our team also discovered that if the hoodlums were rejected by hospitals, he would send them to a particular hospital. Our commander ordered for the arrest of Agboola and the doctor.
