Doctors Seek Protection over Insecurity

Date: 2013-04-24

Members of Kwara State chapter of Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) have cried out for help to the government and other stakeholders in the state over alleged insecurity at both the government-owned hospitals and the privately-run clinics in the state.

The NMA members, while underlining the need for them to defend the Hippocratic Oath sworn to, to defend lives, said if the insecurity situation persisted, they would be forced to shun some emergency calls that could endanger their lives.

At a press briefing yesterday in Ilorin, the NMA state chairman, Prof. Olayinka Buhari, said many hospitals in the state were no longer safe for his members to discharge their duties, especially those on emergency calls.

He said in the last few weeks, 10 of his members lost their vehicles to robbers in the course of their duties.

Sources told The Guardian in Ilorin that two privately-owned clinics were attacked by robbers who carted away money estimated at millions of naira.

The development is coming on the heels of last week’s gruesome murder of a former official of the body, Dr. Ariyo Adewunmi, by suspected five gunmen at his Basin Road residence in Ilorin.
