• Nigerian health expert Aproko Doctor sparked debate with his reaction to a viral photo of media personality Oriyomi Hamzat in a hospital bed
• The photo was shared amidst reports that Hamzat had collapsed following a tragic stampede at a children's event in Ibadan that claimed the lives of at least 32 children
• Aproko Doctor's comment demanding accountability sparked mixed reactions online; while some supported his demand for justice, others criticised him 

Nigerian medical doctor and influencer Chinonso Egemba, known as Aproko Doctor, has expressed anger over a viral photo of popular media personality Oriyomi Hamzat in a hospital. 

Aproko Doctor triggered an intense debate with his reaction to the photo of the CEO of Agidigbo FM, Oriyomi Hamzat, circulating online. 

The photo, which shows the CEO lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen tank, was shared amidst reports that he had collapsed following the tragic stampede at a children's event in Ibadan, which claimed the lives of at least 32 children and many left injured. 

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.

Aproko Doctor took to social media to express his outrage, stating, "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!” 

The unfortunate incident has been a sensitive discussion as Nigerians mourn over the death of little children in the incident. Many have been apprehended, including Queen Naomi, the recovered Oriyomi, who is presently in Abuja for investigation. 

However, as the investigation into the stampede continues, the public demands justice and answers for the victims and their families. 

Netizens react to Aproko Doctor’s comment 

The comment has sparked a mixed reaction online, with some supporting Aproko Doctor's demand for accountability and others criticising his tone as insensitive.

@Reishaba commented: “I knew there was something about his posture”

@Omoajadesinuola stated: “His media house was used to announce the funfair, he's not the organiser. What is the man's offence pls, he said he fainted when he saw the stampede.”

@hk_7538 posted: “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.  It’s painful and to see @aproko_doctor a supposedly smart person running with the narrative is just sad”.

In a sane and develop country, they use police to control crowds. food, money or give aways brings crowd”
