i live in uk, 've never seen any animal hospital like that of oke ado centre hospital denying treatment to save a life over a police report. who is going to tell me that if a gov of a state was in the same situation, will not be attended to with or without police report. i think is better for we nigerians to stop acting like monkeys. i've more to say on that useless police report of yours you talking about, cos i lost a sister in a motor accident and i was told to get a police report to claim the dead body, this actually cost me thousands of naira to get it done, please wake up you nigerians
