Kwara State health officials moved a medical outreach program to a different location after armed bandits attacked Oke-Ode on Sunday morning. Dr. Amina Ahmed El-Imam shifted the 2025 Medical and Surgical Outreach Programme from Specialist Hospital in Oke-Ode to Cottage Hospital in Omupo.

The program offers residents free medical consultations and surgical procedures as part of government healthcare initiatives. El-Imam encouraged people from Ifelodun Local Government Area and surrounding communities to attend the relocated services. State officials emphasized their dedication to protecting citizen health and safety. The venue change aims to ensure broader access while maintaining service quality for local residents.
