Olamide Thomas, the nurse and activist arrested over her social media remarks against President Bola Tinubu, is receiving medical treatment at the Muhammadu Buhari Police Hospital, Garki, Abuja, after slumping in custody, her lawyer, Ernest Okpaga, told PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday.

The lawyer said Ms Thomas “suffers from asthma and peptic ulcer,” adding that she had been bleeding since Monday.”

Mr Okpaga told our correspondent that despite Ms Thomas’ several complaints concerning her conditions, the police officers at the Nigeria Police Force Cyber-Crime Centre (NCCC) in Abuja, where she is detained, refused to provide her medical care until she slumped on Thursday.
