WARRI—DELTA State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Wednesday, ordered a consultant Orthopedic surgeon with the state Central Hospital, Warri, Dr. Edafe Adike, alleged to have abandoned his duty post for his private clinic in Warri, to report to the Health Commissioner for appropriate sanction.

Dr. Adike told the visiting governor and his team that he came to his private clinic only 30-minutes ago with his official car.

But the governor, pointed out to him that there were no car tyre prints on the ground to support his claim, showing that the car had been parked for quite some time, saying, “so, you abandoned your patients at the government hospital to suffer while you are here working in your clinic.”

Governor Uduaghan, made the disclosure during his visit to project sites in Warri, Uvwie and Udu Local Government Areas of the state, to ascertain their level of completion.

He was at the Delta Steel Company Hospital, where he worked as a surgeon before venturing into politics, and expressed regret that the medical centre of excellence was now a shadow of its former self due to apparent neglect by the Federal Government.
