The group also alleged that the hospital subjected nurses to poor working conditions, delayed salary payments, low wages and dehumanising treatment, while insisting that healthcare workers should not be criminalised for speaking out against workplace abuses.

The Elegant Nurses Forum has accused the management of Abby's Paediatric Care in Lagos of exploiting and intimidating healthcare workers after a police-mediated resolution over a dispute involving four nurses failed at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon.

The group also alleged that the hospital subjected nurses to poor working conditions, delayed salary payments, low wages and dehumanising treatment, while insisting that healthcare workers should not be criminalised for speaking out against workplace abuses.

The allegations were contained in a statement issued on Thursday, by the National Coordinator of the Elegant Nurses Forum, Nurse Thomas Abiodun Olamide, following a meeting at the FCID.

According to the group, the four nurses honoured a police invitation on Tuesday, July 7, accompanied by legal representatives provided by the Lagos chapter of the Take-It-Back (TIB) Movement.
