Nigerian hospitals must treat gunshot, emergency cases before asking questions 

When someone is shot and rushed to the hospital, every second is critical to prevent the loss of life.

They are turned away, left to bleed on the pavements or in waiting rooms while hospital attendants demand police report or an advance deposit. It is not just a moral failure; it is a violation of the law.
