As part of their ongoing protest over the kidnapping of one of their colleagues, Dr. Ibrahim Babatunde, doctors in Edo State have stopped providing medical care in certain of the 18 local government areas. 

The medics claimed they could no longer operate in an environment of fear and uncertainty, despite security authorities' assurances that efforts to achieve his release are ongoing. 

Patients and their families were alarmed by the industrial action, and many of them are currently suffering the most from the interruption. 

Given their loved one's precarious state, a relative of a patient who recently had an amputation described the strike as upsetting.
