Terrorists abduct health worker in Borno State in Nigeria

The Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), has abducted a health worker with the Borno General Hospital, Gubio, Bulama Geidam.

The terrorists attacked Gubio on Wednesday at about 2am, and looted food items and fuel from a humanitarian truck.

Borno state Commissioner for Health, Juliana Bitruce, who confirmed the attack, said the incident was “unfortunate and disturbing.”

She said the abducted health worker was among those who remained at their duty posts in spite of the challenges of insecurity in the area.

“The ministry will write to officially inform all the concerned security agencies, including the Theatre Command, Operation Hadin Kai”, she said.

The commissioner prayed for the safe release of the health worker, Geidam.
