A dirty slap on a nurse's face has caused an entire hospital to embark on strike. The Delta State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Otumara, last week descended on a female nursing officer at the Central Hospital in Warri, Mrs. Akata Oghenero, and slapped her for taking a phone call.

The matter however, did not end on the strike action, Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defense (FJHD) in Delta State, has threatened to drag the commissioner to court if he fails to tender an unreserved apology to the nurse or resign from office.

Narrating the story, a Nurse says: “On 29 March, 2012, while Mrs. Akata Oghenero, a Nursing Officer II at the Central Hospital, Warri was on duty in the Gynae ward of the said hospital, the Health commissioner, Dr. Joseph Otumara, and his entourage came into the said ward and, in the process, Mrs. Oghenero, in company of some student nurses who were present, immediately stood up to acknowledge his presence, while the commissioner and his entourage walked through to the maternity ward.  Shortly after a while Mrs. Oghenero received an emergency call on her mobile phone and she was on the phone all of a sudden she got a severe slap on her right check. Lo and behold she was shocked on turning her face to discover that the slap was from the Health commissioner Dr. Joseph Otumara."

So what do you guys feel about this Commissioner of Face-Slappers?
