Gunmen Storm Hospital In Delta, Abduct Resident Doctor 

Gunmen at about 11:30 pm on Sunday night abducted a resident doctor, Dr Sunny Afore, at the Central Hospital in Ojobo community, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State.

DAILY POST reports that the gunmen disguised as patients in the hospital and in the process shot sporadically into the air before they abducted their victim, who was on duty,

It was learnt that the gunmen went away with the medical doctor through the rivers.

Nothing has been heard of the medical doctor as the gunmen are yet to establish any contacts with his family as well as leaders of the Ojobo community.

The incident has reportedly caused serious tension amongst indigenes and residents of the community.

When contacted, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Hafiz Inuwa, confirmed the report in a telephone chat with our correspondent in Warri on Monday.

CP Inuwa said, “I just spoke with the DPO in that area. It is not in Bomadi but Burutu.

“They said the gunmen disguised as patients inside the hospital, abducted the doctor and went away with him through the river. The DPO said, he is on his way to that place and from his office to that area is about three hours. We will do all we can to rescue the doctor.”
