Medical and Dental Consultant Association of Nigeria, MDCAN, has called on the government at all levels to put an end to all forms of kidnapping in the country.
They made the call in a peaceful protest staged in Ibadan to mark fifty days since their colleague, a Professor of Neurology, Ekanem Phillip-Ephraim was kidnapped in her house in Calabar, Cross River State.
According to them, there has been no communication from the captors since she was abducted.
Speaking, the Vice Chairman, MDCAN, Oyo State Chapter, who spoke on behalf of the president, MDCAN, Dr. Victor Makanjuola, said this situation was uncalled for and needed urgent attention.
Earlier, Chief Medical Director, CMD, University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, Professor Jesse Otegbayo, said providing an enabling environment for medical practitioners cannot be over-emphasized while urging the government to take drastic steps before it leads to further exodus of medical practitioners.
Radio Nigeria observed that the protesters wore a white ribbon on their arms to show their solidarity for their kidnapped member.
