Apostle Chinyere stated that the regrettable decision to shutdown the Aluu free specialist hospital became necessary following the frequent levies placed on the hospital by the community.

Sources gathered reveal that all forms of medical services are rendered free of charge by the center. From services rendered to expectant mothers like registration, ante natal, scan, delivery, drugs and even post natal services are delivered for free at the centre without discrimination.

Apostle Chinyere wondered why Aluu community, who have been major beneficiaries of all humanitarian projects by the ministry would place heavy levies for the ministry to pay.

He stated that the ministry has so far cited 12 OPM free estates, a free specialist hospital and one of the biggest free skills acquisition centers in Nigeria, all in Aluu community.

The clergy reiterated that all services rendered by these facilities are free of charge to the community, courtesy of the ministry.

Also, the generators in the free hospital are run everyday with a high cost of diesel daily.

When quizzed, he revealed that he has met with the leadership of the community to lift the incessant levies but to no avail, as they insist it is a compulsory levy the hospital must pay.

The community’s refusal to consider the ministry has forced Apostle Chinyere to shut down the the specialist hospital.

While demonstrating sympathy for all the expectant mothers who patronize the special hospital for his decision, he advised them to get other hospitals to continue their ante-natal treatments.

He further advised all patients to stop going to the hospital for treatment.

According to the renowned clergy, the free specialist hospital would be moved to a new location that would be friendly to the ministry.
