The Zamfara branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) says it is working to secure the release of the medical director of Dansadau General Hospital kidnapped by bandits on June 25.
“The abductors of Dr Mansur Muhammad the medical director of the General Hospital Dansadau have demanded N20 million ransom for his release,” Mannir Bature, Zamfara NMA chairman, said on Wednesday. “They made contact with his family to demand the sum of N20 million ransom before they can release him.”
He added, “They, however, reduced the amount to N5 million. We are still on it. The leadership of the NMA is working with relevant authorities to ensure the safe release of the victim.”
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has decried increasing abduction of medical doctors in Anambra, threatening to withdraw their services.
