This happened this evening at exactly past 7pm.

Earlier today, my colleague had advised on our whatsapp group page of the need for all Doctors working in the Federal Medical Center to be in possession of their new ID cards as movement had been
restricted pending when the curfew would be relaxed in the state, of course except for essential service providers.

She had collected hers and ventured home with a senior colleague who dropped her off where she would board a cab. This was futile as the roads
were clear, so she resolved to join the pedestrians too as she never buy her own moto
This police van pulled up and packed everyone into their booth including this female doctor. The hospital ID cards she had couldn't save her. Infact, one of the policemen
told her how he hated doctors...and that her ID card was fake. She brought out her phone to make calls which was seized and a resounding slap followed; one of the policemen told her that they will shoot her and nothing will happen. In her own words...
"I became deaf and dumb because these people were angry and if they unleashed the anger on me, I will just die with all my big dreams inside my diary".
She was later given her phone to transfer money to them...a new resident doctor still on NPO (where will
the money come out from)?...Her Dad's number couldn't connect at the time.
Luck was on her side when someone identified her in the midst of the chaos (a patient she managed in the past, resorted to paying off N25,000 to the Police for her bail, even as she
came to bail someone else.

What was her crime today? She went to work to attend to patients, and also for being a Medical Doctor.
Let the world know that even healthcare providers have become an endangered species in this whole bruhaha.

I employ the voices
of @nard_nigeria & respective bodies to look into this & not allow this slide.
Enough said on @PoliceNG harassments on Medical Practitioners!
