A tragic incident unfolded at the Bamenda Regional Hospital in Cameroon when a patient passed away after a man reportedly removed her oxygen mask, claiming “oxygen is free.”
The man, who identified himself as a Christian pastor, entered the hospital ward uninvited and allegedly removed the oxygen mask and intravenous drips of a female patient undergoing treatment for a lung infection.
Witnesses say he began praying over her, insisting he was acting on God’s will.
Despite immediate intervention by doctors, the patient succumbed within minutes.
The unidentified man was arrested on the scene and later confessed to the act, showing no remorse.
He maintained that he was following divine instructions.
The incident was first shared on Instagram by a user named “towncryer,” who uploaded a video and detailed the shocking event.
According to the account, the patient was receiving oxygen support due to severe breathing difficulties when the self-proclaimed pastor intervened.
The video has sparked outrage, with many questioning the hospital’s security measures.
Critics argue that negligence on the part of the hospital allowed the man to gain access to the patient and carry out his actions unchecked.
Authorities are investigating the incident as the public demands accountability from both the hospital and the alleged perpetrator.
