A medical doctor identified as Abu Ibrahim Babatunde has reportedly been kidnapped in the Auchi region of Edo state.
Dockaysworld gathered that the doctor who is serving a horsemanship at Edo State Teaching Hospital, Auchi, was abducted while returning from work in the evening.
Eyewitnesses stated that he was taken while attempting to open his gate and gain access to his home.
His home is located off City College Road, Ibira Camp, Auchi, Edo State.
The doctor who is a member of the Abu family of the lyetse clan, Utsogun Heritage Zone, is yet to be accounted for by his abductors by means of ransom demands.
Friends and family have begun to seek help and information as regards his whereabouts while calling on the government and other authorities to step in and rescue him.
Recall Dockaysworld reported that another doctor, a neurosurgeon named Tochukwu Mbanug was also kidnapped in Anambra two months ago.
He would regain his freedom after actions from multiple stakeholders including the Nigeria medical association who threatened strike action unless he was successfully returned.
As at the time of this report, there’s no official statement from the police.
