Nigerian health expert Chinonso Egemba, known as Aproko Doctor, has expressed anger over a viral photo of popular Radio owner, Oriyomi Hamzat in a hospital.
Hamzat, who leads Agidigbo FM in Ibadan and promoted a children’s event that ended in tragedy, is currently in an undisclosed hospital in Oyo state’s capital, Ibadan.
As of Thursday, 19th of December, reports indicate that Hamzat has been unconscious since Wednesday, 18th of December, and is receiving care at a local facility.
An anonymous source reported that his illness was caused by the shock from the horrific funfair event that resulted in over 35 deaths, primarily among children, and many injuries.

The source mentioned that Hamzat’s current comatose condition is due to his inability to deal with the shock from this tragedy.
A photo of the media host has since gone viral, depicting him critically ill in a hospital bed.
Aproko Doctor responded to the popular picture and insisted that he should get up to address questions about the funfair.
“Please stand up and answer the questions. We’re done with all these theatrics. But first, put on the oxygen tank; let’s know you’re serious. Children died!”

@hk7_538: “Why are people coming for this man tho? No one was forced to leave their house for the free food. Hold the leaders responsible for the hardship and leave someone whose good intentions was miscalculated.”
@hk7_538: “Watch the video, he obviously organized moderators but the turn up was unprecedented.”
@Seyisembah: You no get any sense for that your head way be like cashew ..so he shouldn’t be held accountable. Na government organize event ?”
@realshinny: “I blame the parents for this. This is how good initiatives get discouraged. This is not this first time Oriyomi has been organizing this same event. I just want to believe he did not expect this amount of turnout, but from the reports I am getting it’s the adults there that acted irresponsible.”
@Djdrumbaets: “Your family no dey there so I expect this from you it’s normal, you invited 5k people and you think they won’t be more than that? And again the crowd is not as a result of poverty, people are just greedy most ladies lied to their husbands at home just to take the children there.”
@IconAmbition: “Some people go dey act like say dem never chop before pushing others, trying to collect more than one, they should stop blaming the man truly.”
