"Explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for absenting yourself from Tuesday's evening games." While people online are busy blaming a dead 25-year-old doctor for "not taking his health seriously" or claiming he didn't follow due process, this is the actual reality Dr. Wisdom Oghenetega faced at the Military Hospital in Port Harcourt. A formal query. Signed by a Lieutenant. Tega was actively deteriorating and fighting for his life, but the administration was more concerned about his "ability to function under constituted authority." This is the toxic, militarized chokehold Tega was trapped in. The narrative that he ignored his own health is absolute gaslighting. Tega did not neglect himself; he was actively blocked, questioned, and pressured by a rigid administrative system while trying to manage his illness. This was the query he received. See his official response attached below. 👇

Here is the exact timeline leading up to Dr. Wisdom Oghenetega’s tragic passing: • Thursday, May 28: Tega collapses. He undergoes blood investigations within the facility and immediately requests sick leave. The request is denied. • Monday, June 1: Still seeking clearance, he completes an ECG and Chest X-ray to finish the full list of requested medical investigations. • Monday, June 8: Despite being visibly ill, he is forced to do a 24-hour call alongside a pregnant Medical Officer. • Tuesday, June 9 (AM): He is heavily reprimanded by superiors for sleeping at 10 PM in the call room instead of staying awake until dawn. He openly reminds them again that he is sick. • Tuesday, June 9 (PM): Exhausted and ill, he misses mandatory evening games. • Wednesday, June 10: While still battling symptoms, the administration serves him a formal query for missing games. • Thursday, June 18: Tega submits another formal letter requesting leave. • Friday, June 26: After a three-week administrative delay from his initial request, his sick leave is finally approved, and he is allowed to go home. • Saturday, June 27: He arrives in Calabar and immediately proceeds to Asi-Ukpo Memorial Hospital for further medical tests. • Monday, June 29: Tega passes away. The claim that Tega didn't take his health seriously is completely false. He did every single investigation they asked for. He followed every protocol. The only thing he didn't do was rebel.

One house officer and nineteen medical and dental students were kidnapped two days ago on their way to the FECAMDS annual national convention, holding in Enugu State. They were ambushed and kidnapped by armed gunmen somewhere around Otukpo, Benue State, and the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of ₦50 million for their release; otherwise, they'd start killing them this evening. Please lend a voice! Our colleagues must return safely, alive and unharmed.
