The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, has petitioned the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to rescue Kaduna-based medical doctor, Ganiyat Popoola, who was kidnapped last December and has been in the abductors’ den for nearly eight months.
In a letter dated August 12, the health minister, Pate, sought the intervention of the NSA, Nuhu Ribadu; and the IG, Kayode Egbetokun, to rescue the abducted medical doctor.
Recall that, Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna State, was abducted on December 27, 2023, along with her husband, Nurudeen Popool, who is a Squadron leader, and her nephew, Folaranmi Abdul-Mugniy, who stays with them.
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has repeatedly clamoured for Popoola’s release, with chapters of the association holding peaceful protests across different states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Monday, and has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike if Popoola was not released by August 26th.
