Resident-doctorsMedical doctors at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo in Ondo State have called for the immediate release of a staff of the hospital, Mrs Queen Adeyeye, who was kidnapped last Saturday by unknown gunmen.

Mrs Adeyeye, who is the Deputy Director of Pharmaceutical Services at the hospital, was kidnapped while returning home from a church programme.

Addressing a press conference at the centre, the Chairman of Body of Medical Doctors, which consists of resident doctors and consultants, Dr. Opeyemi Komolafe, urged the state and federal governments to ensure the woman is rescued from her abductors.

They charged President Muhammudu Buhari to tackle the high level of insecurity in the country, lamenting that the lives of the staff of the hospital were no longer safe.

He urged all security agencies to deploy necessary machinery and intelligence to ensure that the kidnapped pharmacist is freed by her captors.
