Lagos Doctors Protest Abduction of Colleague

The Association of Resident Doctors at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH-ARD) staged a solidarity walk to demand the safe return of their colleague, Dr. Ganiyat Popoola, a resident doctor who was abducted eight months ago in Kaduna.

The doctors staged a solidarity walk on Friday from its secretariat to other major departments within the hospital.

Dr Popoola, was kidnapped on 27 December 2023 alongside her husband and nephew.

While her husband has been released after a ransom was reportedly paid, Mrs Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity.

The kidnappers reportedly demanded a N60 million ransom before they released the doctor’s husband.

In his remarks, the President of LASUTH-ARD, Charles Aisudo, raised concern about the safety of health workers due to what he described as the degenerating state of insecurity in the country.
