Normalcy has returned to the National hospital Abuja after warring factions of the National Association of Nigerian Students stormed the health facility on Friday, in protest over alleged delay by medical personnel in treating their colleagues who were injured during a NANS factional crisis earlier on Thursday.
According to reports several patients were forced to flee their hospital wards and beds following the violent attack by the warring groups.
Meanwhile, security operatives have cordoned off the area are likely to remain for a long period of time to forestall any reoccurrence of the incident.
Security sources who spoke said a fight had broken out between two NANS factions on Thursday leading to violent attacks that left some students injured and hospitalised.
The injured NANS members were later taken to the National Hospital for medical care.
It was, however, alleged that medical personnel did not adequately attend to the injured students, leading to the attack on the hospital on Friday.
Meanwhile, following credible intelligence, operatives of the Department of State Services on Thursday intercepted some NANS members and recovered two pump action guns and cartridges from them on their way to the convention.
Following the attack on the National Hospital on Friday, the major roads leading to the ICC and the National Hospital have been deserted, while the police have condoned off some sections of the highway.
