Chonoko said the agency had no report on any hospital that had refused to treat the victims and requested that names of the hospitals in that category should be forwarded to the agency for appropriate action.
“We have not had such cases and any one with facts should come forward and the agency will take appropriate action,” he said.
According to NAN, 20 persons lost their lives during the first Boko Haram attack in the Nigerian capital since the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari.
