The founder of Ileri Oluwa House of Hope Hospital, Mr Hakeem Oyeneyin, has shut down the facility till further notice.
Oyeneyin stated that his decision is to allow the host community, Ondo town, to guarantee adequate security for the staff and properties of the Ondo State-based hospital.
This is coming after some yet-to-be-identified hoodlums broke into the facility, carting away valuables worth millions of naira on Sunday.
The founder, who said the thieves used the hospital roof and window as their means of entry and exit, stressed on the importance of security in running a hospital.
