UNBELIEVABLE: How Kidnappers Have Been Terrorizing Doctors In Edo State by ajasbaba(m): 9:21am On Jan 08, 2014
This is really sad. Doctors in Edo State, especially the ones in Irrua, have cried out for help. According to them, they have been asking the Government to come to their aid and stop the way kidnappers have been kidnapping them and their family members and even killing some of them, but they have only received little assistance from the Government. Here are some of what happened to them in 2013. Really sad.

*On May 1, a Specialist Physician was kidnapped at about 7 p.m. on his way home from working. Following a scuffle, he was shot in the abdomen and abandoned for dead. Emergency surgery was what saved his life. Continue after the cut.

*On August 12, a trainee physician was kidnapped abducted at about 6 p.m. at the gate of his house, while returning from work. He was later released after seven days in the kidnappers den.

*August 20 was the turn of the wife of an obstetrician and her six-month old baby. They were picked in front of the gate of their house in broad day light. Both mother and child were kept in the bush without a cover for four days.

*On August 25, a House Officer was kidnapped. His ordeal lasted six days. On November 7, a Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon received a threatening letter to either deposit N3 million or risk his children being kidnapped. He had to shut down every activity and took his family out of his residence. These included withdrawing his children from school and staying away from work. This lasted for four weeks till today he still move with fears.

*On November 29, at about 8 p.m., an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist was kidnapped along with his pregnant wife, one-year-old baby and a house help while driving home. After a short drive in his car, he received a gunshot to his chest. He died before help could reach him. His name was Sunday Eruzegbua (37).

*On December 23, a private medical practitioner and gospel minister was taken at about 7.30 p.m. while driving home from work. His ordeal ended four days later,when he was released by his captors.

This is really pathetic. I think government should do something about it. The Governor should do something as he's the chief security officer in that state.
Doctors are running for their lives in Edo state.
@op, the list is endless, virtually all the doctors in UBTH have been kidnapped.
Sad
