The resident doctors strike is to clamour for the release of its kidnapped member Dr Ganiyat Popoola, who has been in captivity for over 8 months.

Osun Defender reported that the association of Resident Doctors at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH-ARD) recently 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.

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.
