Nurses at the Damongo Government Hospital today [Tuesday], laid down their tools in protest over the detention of their colleague, Ernest Green for allegedly raping an Italian patient.
A Tamale District Court remanded Ernest Green into police custody on Monday, for allegedly raping an elderly Italian woman who was at the facility for medical care.
His detention is to enable the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police to conduct full scale investigations into the alleged rape case.
In solidarity, Ernest Green’s colleagues have laid down their tools and demanded his immediate release on police inquiry bail.
Spokesperson for the aggrieved nurses, Nyenebon Aiden, served notice that they wouldn’t resume work until Ernest Green is released.
He accused the police of acting unprofessionally in handling the case saying, “We want justice and the police are acting unprofessionally especially coming to the hospital well armed with over twenty personnel and also assaulting a nurse at the ward.”
The suspect was arrested by the Damongo Police after the incident was reported to them by the complainant.
He has since been transferred to the Northern Regional Police Command where he is being processed before the court, hence his detention.
Background
According to the Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mr. Mohammed Yussif Tanko, the incident, according to the complainant, happened on Friday, April 6, 2018 at about 4.00 am in a private ward of the hospital.
The complainant said she was rushed to the hospital at about 11:50 pm the previous day suffering from malaria.
She said the suspect approached her and told her the hospital had a private ward if she would like to take it and she agreed, adding that she got up at dawn and managed to make it to the washroom and on her return, she found it difficult to climb back on to the bed and the suspect came around to assist her onto the bed.
The complainant said the suspect sat by her side and started touching her but she was too weak to resist and that suddenly the suspect took her breast into his mouth, removed her panties and had unprotected sex with her.
Meanwhile, a medical team is conducting tests to assist the police CID in their investigations.

THESE MERCY KILLERS CALLED NURSES ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE FREEDOM OF THEIR ***barred word*** MERCY KILLER COLLEAGUE BUT NOT THE VICTIM WHO WAS VERY ILL AND NEEDED SYMPATHY EVEN IF THEY COULD NOT TREAT HER AILMENT. OUR HEALTHY FACILITIES EVERYWHERE HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CUT FOR THE JOB BUT FOR THE SAKE OF LANDING A JOB. THESE SAME PEOPLE WILL PICKET THE MINISTRIES ASKING TO BE EMPLOYED AFTER TAKING THE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES. DON'T BLAME DONALD TRUMP FOR THE ***barred word*** HOLE TAG OF AFRICA.
You ppl should get the guys side of de story before making such funny comments We nurses take care of u when u r sick because we took an oath to do so. So I don't think you ppl should comment the way you r doing,and we at Damongo r not ***barred word*** lk u say kk,we personally know our colleague so we know what he can do and wat he will never do so pls respect urself and nurses wait cos a nurse helped u cry ur first cry
oh!! Nurses, please allowing investigation to be done, the law to be applied and a final verdict to be arrived at. Your colleague hasn't been convicted(by no court's pronouncement ) so why this premature ejaculation.In any case, this industrial action is not legal. Understand that there are people who want your job and are willing to serve but haven't had the opportunity. this strike action makes no sense.
But what is the proof that the Italian is telling the truth? Do all you 'commentors' have proof that the nurse is guilty? I don't know so I won't shoot now. The lady may be telling lies, on the other hand, the nurse might also be guilty as alleged. At this stage, we don't know. But to arrest one suspected '***barred word***' nurse with 20 armed policemen (and probaly women as well), makes a funny story. Is it because she is Obroni, and Abibifo respond with alacrity when Obroni speaketh?
***barred word*** Nurses you go to burn the sea ***barred word*** you people supporting criminals let the justice be done and stop fooling yourselves noises
IS VERY SHAMEFUL TO THE NURSING PROFESSION AND THE COUNTRY GHANA AND EVEN AFRICA AS A WHOLE. WHY SHOULD A PROFESSIONAL NURSE DO SUCH A THING?THOSE ON STRIKE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
what ***barred word*** is this? crime is crime and must be punished
If they won't let them go . This ***barred word*** must stop. If people don't want to work why force them . There are hundreds of unemployed nurses. A health worker who is supposed to take care of the sick, Rapping a patient at hospital. Asked the world bank director who rapped a hotel waitress was handcuff and you I d I o Ts are misbehaving.
Police comes to effect arrest wielding arms so they are unprofessional? If that nurse did not obstruct them in the performance of their duty and she was assaulted, don't you know you have the right to lodge a complaint against them? The police takes the accused person to court. In the wisdom of the judge/magistrate he ought to be remanded to allow thorough investigation and you protect demanding his release? What lawlessness
NONS$%ENSE! ARE THE NURSES ABOVE THE LAWS OF GHANA?
