Na wa ooo. Things are really happening in this country. A Twitter user, @magnanimous_, has made a series of tweet about how his aunt lost one of her sons as a result of the “I-don’t-attitude" displayed by those who were supposed to help him.
In his tweets, he wrote
“My ‘auntie’ has three sons. She’s always crazy about them. The middle child, David, is the most promising. He’s a tech guy; very young, very brilliant. David was on his was home on Friday night when he was robbed, shot and killed around Jibowu. Please say a prayer for my aunt.
David got shot around 8pm. The police were called, David hadn’t died yet. The Nigerian police stood and watched as he gasped for air. They took pictures instead, and were more concerned with why he – a tech guy- was carrying a laptop. Nigeria failed you, David.
David was taken to the military hospital around the area, the nurses ignored him. The doctor came around and kept asking who they all were. It took a senior nurse to come out and start checking for a pulse. He had lost a lot of blood at this point.
The police then took david and his family to Sabo, where they looked for the laptop that he had on him instead of giving them a police report. The police officers were drunk and kept being unreasonable. He was finally released to his family, and they got to LUTH around 12:30am.
David wasn’t attended to by the doctors at LUTH. He was there till the family was convinced he couldn’t be alive because he had no pulse. The doctors refused to administer any test to see if he was alive.
The country failed David.
The doctors failed David.
The police failed David.
The system failed David.
Rest in peace David Ntekim-Rex."

This is a really sad story. It’s no longer news that most security officials in the country now hang the ‘Yahoo Boy’ tag on any guy who walks around with a laptop. Can you imagine? There are so many people who have legit jobs and their PC is their office. Wahala for who get laptop for dis country.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this assumption by security officials is justified?
