In a statement signed by National Chairman, Kabir Minjibir and National Secretary, Martin Egbanubi, JOHESU/AHPA expressed outrage over the incident, which occurred on Dec. 27, 2023.
JOHESU/AHPA highlighted the vulnerability of healthcare workers across the country, emphasising that the persistent kidnappings undermined healthcare delivery to citizens.
The union described the trend as “dangerous” and urged emergency action from security agencies.
The union expressed solidarity with the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) on their seven-day nationwide warning strike, which commenced on August 26, in response to the kidnapping of their colleague.
It called on the Federal Government and state authorities to mobilise security agencies to secure the release of Dr Popoola and other kidnapped victims.
The union further called on President Bola Tinubu to implement advanced security measures to combat the rising threats of kidnapping, banditry, and organised crimes in Nigeria.
