She said, “We have not really established whether they are kidnapers – the people that came claimed that they are security operatives. Workers were not able to describe them.

“Some said when they asked those people where they were taking the doctor to, they said “just here”, so we thought that maybe they took him to the Police Division.

“We have been going round all the police stations in Makurdi but he is not there.”
