Medics want Jang to find their colleague’s murderers
Medical
practitioners in Plateau State have asked the state governor, Jonah
Jang, to find out the killers of their colleague, Osareti Osagie.
Osagie died on
Thursday after being shot on Wednesday by unknown persons who invaded
his residence at Rayfield, Jos. The killers made away with an
undisclosed amount of money, a laptop, two mobile phones and his car,
which they later abandoned.
The doctors, who
staged a peaceful demonstration to the Governor’s Office, were led by
Victor Pam, the Chairperson of the state’s Nigerian Medical Association
(NMA). They asked Jang to use his “powerful influence” to ensure that
the perpetrators were brought to book. “This is the only condition that
will reassure the doctors and other law-abiding citizens in the state
that their lives are safe,” they said.
The medical practitioners expressed concern that the murder of Osagie might be the beginning of a frightening trend.
