An unknown individual has sabotaged the solar energy system at Kenema Government Hospital, cutting all cables connected to the hospital’s solar panels. The solar panels, which play a crucial role in powering the facility’s oxygen supply, have been rendered non-functional due to the damage.

This act of vandalism has raised serious concerns as the oxygen supply is essential for treating critical patients, especially those with respiratory conditions. Hospital staff have reported that the sudden disruption has placed lives at risk, as the oxygen supply is vital for emergency treatments, intensive care units, and surgical procedures.

Authorities are currently investigating the incident to identify the perpetrator and determine the motive behind this destructive act. Meanwhile, the hospital administration is scrambling to find alternative power sources to ensure that the oxygen supply remains operational.

This event comes at a time when the hospital is already grappling with limited resources, and the loss of solar power—an eco-friendly and cost-effective energy source—further complicates the situation. The community has expressed outrage, calling for immediate action to prevent future occurrences and to hold those responsible accountable.

Local authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward, as efforts to repair the solar panels are already underway to restore the hospital’s critical functions.
