Abia State medical doctors under the aegis of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Abia State chapter, yesterday, declared indefinite withdrawal of their services in both private and public health facilities.

They said the service withdrawal is to register their displeasure for the kidnap of their senior colleague, Prof. Uwadinachi Iweha, in his Umuajameze Community, Umuahia South Local Council of the state, few kilometers from Umuahia, the state capital, nine days ago.

Addressing the doctors at the Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, after they staged a peaceful protest, carrying placards and praying for Iweha’s release, the state NMA Chairman, Dr. Chimezie Okwuonu, said the withdrawal of services by the doctors would give them time to join Iweha’s family to search for him.

He, however, said emergency services would still be rendered to members of the public. He added: “It is our utmost desire that the government enables the release of our colleague and restore the peace and security we enjoyed. We ask members of the public with useful information about the abducted doctor’s whereabout to report to the nearest police station.”
