Suspected armed kidnappers early hours of Tuesday attacked the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) in Ituku Ozalla area of Enugu state.
According to Vanguard, the kidnappers allegedly abducted a female deputy director of the hospital and a security man.
It was reported that the SUV owned by the kidnapped woman, a nurse, was seen abandoned in a viral video with bullet-perforated glass on the front passenger side.
Although the police and hospital management are yet to confirm the incident, a reliable source confirmed that a doctor was also abducted at the same location three weeks ago.
A staff member lamented the situation saying “This is so sad we are not safe at all in this hospital, everywhere is porous.”
A resident doctor was also attacked by gunmen at the same location earlier this year but managed to escape from the kidnapper’s den.
