Doctor, nurses, patients kidnapped

A medical doctor, some nurses and patients at the Abdulsalami Abubakar General Hospital, Niger State, are feared kidnapped by armed bandits on Monday night.

The report has that the assailants shot two people dead during their deadly raid of the facility. The identities of the deceased are yet to be known

Among the abducted persons are the wives and daughters of two of the hospital staff.

The report claims the bandits struck in order to get the kidnapped health personnel to treat some of the injured bandits in the forest.

“This is one of the most devastating experience. To be honest with you, Gulu General Hospital has collapsed because we cannot stay here any longer.

“Every staff on duty last night was taken. They just left few patients whose cases were severe. This is heartless,” a source allegedly said.

Another source reportedly said the kidnappers were many and operated for hours in the facility without being challenged.
