Cameronian coffin maker has been arrested after he was allegedly caught disconnecting drips being administered to cholera patients on admission in a hospital. The suspect, 33, reportedly crept into a ward where victims of cholera were being treated at a hospital in Limbe, a seaside city in the South-West Region of Cameroon when the patients were sleeping and quietly disconnected a few of the drips before a nurse walked in on him. The suspect reportedly tried to dash out after the nurse raised an alarm, but he was chased down by the security guards on duty and beaten up. The suspect was then tied while the police were summoned to arrest him.
