NMA condemns Jos killings

The body expressed deep concern, stressing that the victims of these unwarranted attacks

Plateau State Branch of the Nigerian Medical Association on Thursday lamented over the incessant crisis bedevilling the state, saying the victims of the attacks populate hospitals’ emergency wards.

While commiserating with the family of those who lost their loved ones, the group described the killing as barbaric and inhuman that would have a great toll on the physical and psychological well-being of the masses across the state.

The group said this in a statement jointly signed in Jos by Dr Innocent Emmanuel and Dr Bapiga’an William, Chairman and Secretary, respectively.

The body expressed deep concern, stressing that the victims of these unwarranted attacks continue to populate hospitals’ emergency wards and mortuaries in the state.

“Innocent, armless, accommodating and committed citizens of Plateau State have continued to live under the perennial unsavoury reality of perpetual terrorism manifesting as kidnappings for ransom, rape, maimings, and killings as well as threats of total annihilation.

“Daily, people are kidnapped from their houses and living with the fear that same will happen the next day elsewhere or in their neighborhood unabatedly, with huge sums paid as ransom,”  the association said.

The body however called on the security agents to ensure the security of lives and properties in the state, including their members who are every day to save lives.
