A female doctor, Ganiyat Popoola, who was kidnapped on December 27, 2023, has regained her freedom after 10 months in captivity.
The President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, Tope Osundara, confirmed the release of Popoola and her nephew to newsmen in a telephone interview, on Wednesday, saying they have insulated her away from people, and will only allow very limited access to her.
Osundara also said no ransom was paid to secure her release.
Recall that Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna State, was abducted alongside her husband, Nurudeen Popoola, who is a Squadron leader, and her nephew, Folaranmi Abdul-Mugniy, who stays with them.
After several negotiations with the kidnappers, the husband was released on March 8, 2024, but the doctor and Abdul-Mugniy were not released until Wednesday, October 30, 2024,
