NMA Mourns!🥲💔

The NMA President, Prof Innocent A O Ujah, mni and indeed all Medical and Dental Practitioners under the auspices of NMA are deeply saddened by the tragic, horrific and preventable death of one of our members, Dr Chinelo Megafu Nwando /2
who is reported to have lost her life from injuries sustained from gun shots when the train she travelled in from Abuja to Kaduna was attacked by suspected bandits.

As an Association, we vehemently decry the worsening insecurity in the country…/3
which has made all of us and Nigerians as a whole vulnerable to violent attacks by hoodlums, bandits, kidnappers and terrorists who are currently having a field day causing us deep sorrows and severe pains.

The untimely death of the young, promising Doctor…/4
who served at the Kaduna State Dental Centre and worked with St Gerrard's Hospital, Kakuri, while striving to earn a honest living is one other death too many. The Association notes that needless blood letting and senseless loss of lives…/5
is fast becoming a recurrent decimal in our country, thus worsening the alarming effects of brain drain, which in many instances have been attributable to the worsening security situation in the country.

The Association hereby calls on the security agencies…/6
to urgently reorganise the security architecture in the country with focus on intelligence gathering in order to avoid these carnages across the country.

The Association also recommends that the Federal Government gives a strong consideration…/7
to the establishment of state police to further compliment the efforts of the Nigerian Police Force.

The recruitment of more security personnel and the provision of modern security gadgets and ammunition for them can't be overemphasised. Lastly, the Association prays God…/8
to grant the families of Dr Chinelo and other victims of the very unfortunate incidence, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.../9
We also pray for the speedy recovery of all those who sustained various forms of injuries from gun shots while trying to escape the attack.

NMA addresses the nation on the #EndSARS protest. Read the #thread 👇🏽

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) is painfully disturbed by the violent turn of events over the last 48 hours that greeted the #EndSARS protest staged largely by Nigerian youths across the country. /2
More specifically, we are saddened by the reported events at Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.
We as the umbrella body of Nigerian Doctors in clear terms condemns all forms of violence and threats to life especially the alleged use of live ammunition by some security agents /3
leading to injuries and loss of lives. In a similar vein, we condemn the wanton destruction of public and private properties and attacks on other citizens by hoodlums who hijacked the peaceful protests.
Our hearts go to all the victims and family members of all those caught up /4
