Abduction: Delta NMA set to begin strike action
Members of the Nigerian Medical Association , Delta state chapter are set to commence a phased strike over the abduction of their colleague, Dr. Wisdom Iboyitete, at the General Hospital, Ojobo in Burutu council area, last Monday.
It further expressed worry over the silence of the state government on the incident, which it described as particularly traumatic for the family and other medical practitioners. The statement reads, “In the early hours of Monday the 1st of June 2020, we received the sad news of the kidnap of our colleague Dr Wisdom Iboyitete at his workplace, General Hospital Ojobo in Burutu LGA, Delta state. He was abducted on the line of duty when he heeded an emergency call to attend to a patient, not knowing that the so called patients he rushed down to attend to were kidnappers.
“We have observed with keen interest the resolve of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners to withdraw their services indefinitely until our colleague is released unconditionally. We wish to state that this is in congruence with the provisions of the physicians oath we swore to, which enjoined every doctor to attend to their own health, well being and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.
