ISWAP Members Abduct Health Worker In Borno

ISWAP Members Abduct Health Worker In Borno

Some members of the Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISWAP) have abducted a health worker at Gubio General Hospital, Borno State.

The State government, through its commissioner of health Juliana Bruce, confirmed the sad incident on Wednesday in Maiduguri, as she identified the health worker abducted as Bulama Geidam.

Reports say insurgents attacked Gubio on Wednesday at about 2:00a.m. and looted food items and fuel from a humanitarian truck.

She described the incidence as “unfortunate and disturbing”, adding that Geidam was among those who remained at their duty posts despite the challenges of insecurity in the area.

“The ministry will write to officially inform all the concerned security agencies, including the Theater Command, Operation Hadin Kai,” she said.

The commissioner prayed for the safe release of the health worker.
