Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, in the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching
Hospital, Zaria, Kaduna State, has given the government and the security agencies a
10-day ultimatum for the unconditional release of their colleague, Dr. Ganiyat Popoola.
The doctors vowed to embark on industrial action if their request was not met within
the stipulated time.
The association’s President and the Secretary, Dr. Suleiman Isah Adah and Dr. Jimoh
Aminat, respectively, during a press conference at ABUTH, said, they would not
guarantee industrial harmony if by the 26th of August, Dr. Ganiyat Popoola is not
released or rescued, adding that, Popoola’s husband was subsequently released due to
his deteriorating health condition, after meeting the demands of the abductors.
NARD cautioned that if the abducted doctor was not rescued in 10 days, members
would be forced to embark on strike, and called on the government, the security
agencies and all relevant authorities to intensify efforts to secure their colleague’s
freedom.
