Information gathered from police officers attached to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) revealed that a CCTV footage from Shuman Hospital may exonerate Sky Bank Manager, Ikubolaje Nicol.
The information revealed that CID went to Shuman hospital at Pultney Street in Central Freetown on Monday 17 October to investigate the issue of alleged murder involving Ikubolaje Nicol.
The information gathered by the CID from the CCTV Footage and hospital management discredited earlier rumors reported in some local tabloids that the deceased Sinnah died in the house of the suspect hours before dawn.
The information from CID revealed that the CCTV was played for them and it clearly showed that Bola Nicol took Sinnah to the hospital and she was alive.
That the CCTV showed that Sinnah was taken upstairs by the doctor and nurses and the doctor started treating her, noting that later, the doctor was seen coming out of the ward where Sinnah was treated, informing Bola Nicol that Sinnah has passed away.
It is believed that the CID has informed the family of the deceased that there is a CCTV footage which shows that Sinnah was indeed taken to the hospital and the video shows that her pulse was confirmed before they made them enter the hospital.
Before then, the family was claiming that Sinnah had passed away in Bola Nicol’s house and that Bola Nicol never went to Shuman hospital with her but the CCTV revealed otherwise.
That Officials of Shuman Hospital informed the police that it is a standard procedure at Shuman that if the patient is not alive when she is brought there, they will not take him/her into the hospital and that is the reason they checked Sinnah’s pulse on arrival and that the CCTV footage shows her being alive.
Meanwhile the Legal Team of Bola Nicol is asking for a copy of the footage.
