More Lagos doctors protest as abductors hold colleague captive for eight months

The Association of Resident Doctors, National Orthopaedic Hospital Igbobi, Lagos, (ARD-NOHIL) on Monday staged a solidarity walk over the abduction of Ganiyat Popoola, a resident doctor at the National Eye Centre in Kaduna, who was abducted eight months ago.

The solidarity protest held under the auspices of the Nigerian Association of Residents Doctors (NARD) started last week in other tertiary institutions nationwide.

On Wednesday, NARD resolved to hold a nationwide protest march to demand Mrs Popoola’s release and threatened a nationwide strike if she was not released by 26 August.
