Dr. Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, was taken along with her husband, Nurudeen Popoola, a Squadron Leader, and her nephew, Folaranmi Abdul-Mugniy. Nurudeen was released on March 8, 2024, but Dr. Popoola and Abdul-Mugniy remain in captivity.
The abductors have sporadically allowed family members to speak with the captives, most recently on July 24, 2024, confirming that Dr. Popoola and her nephew are still alive.
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has actively called for Dr. Popoola’s release, organizing peaceful protests across various states and Abuja on Monday. The association has warned of a potential nationwide strike if Dr. Popoola is not freed by August 26.
In a letter dated August 12, Minister Pate requested immediate action from NSA Ribadu and IG Egbetokun to secure the release of Dr. Popoola. The letter highlights the risk of industrial unrest in the health sector if the situation is not resolved promptly.
The letter, titled “RE: Kidnap of Resident Doctor at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna: A Need for Urgent Intervention to Avert Industrial Disharmony,” emphasizes the urgent need for intervention to protect the lives of the abducted individuals and maintain stability in the health sector.
