LUTH doctor stabbed to death 24 hours after graduation

Dr. Urueye Stephen aka Sarutobi, a House Officer at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital(LUTH) has been stabbed to death by robbers 24 hours after he graduated from the University of Lagos on Tuesday April 2nd. 

According to reports, Stephen was walking along Idi Araba road where LUTH is situated when he was accosted by the robbers who stabbed him before carting away his properties found on him.

His friend and former UNILAG SUG president, Adeyeye Olorunfemi, who took to Facebook to mourn him, wrote;

And we lost Stephen.

We lost this young Doctor who wants to save lives to insecurity.

He died 24 hours after his graduation. After 8 years of struggle in the jungle called Nigeria.

He was stabbed by armed robbers and died of stab wounds right in front of a government teaching hospital- LUTH.

Stab wounds!

The medical students said they have always complained about the frequent robbery attacks around and on the College of Medicine, Idi-Araba Campus but the Management keep turning deaf ears.

You know ‘noisemakers’ like us like to protest. But you don’t want to protest because you don’t want to die.

Events have shown us that you don’t have to partake in any protest before you die in Nigeria. Just be a Nigerian!

We are all in this together.

My heart is heavy!

This is sad!
