This is really sad. Doctors in Edo State, especially the ones in Irrua, have cried out for help. According to them, they have been asking the Government
to come to their aid and stop the way kidnappers have been kidnapping them and
their family members and even killing some of them, but they have only received little
assistance from the Government. Here are some of what happened to them in 2013. Really sad.
