BEVERLY HILLS, April 22, (THEWILL) – Gunmen suspected to be bandits, on Thursday abducted two nurses during an attack on the General Hospital in Idon, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna.
Chairman of Kajuru Local Government Area, Hon. Cafra Caino, confirmed the incident.
He called on residents to remain calm as investigation had commenced into the incident.
Although authorities were yet to respond to the incident, the Medical Director, Dr. Shingyu Shamnom, told journalists the gunmen gained access to the hospital through the fence.
He said: “We were in our homes until a call was put through to us that it was kidnappers who invaded the hospital, only to discover that two of the nurses on night duty have been taken away by the bandits.
“The kidnappers went away with the phone of one of the staff whom we thought was also kidnapped but he later returned.”
The incident occurred barely 30 hours after gunmen abducted students of Greenfield University in Kaduna state and killed a staffer.
