The strike action commenced on Monday to pressure the release of two of their members who have been in the captivity of kidnappers for about eight months.

 
Members of the Association of Resident Doctors, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital branch are now on strike.
 
The doctors joined the nationwide strike declared by the national body of the union which commenced on Monday.
 
The strike is to pressure the release of two of their members who have been in the captivity of kidnappers for about eight months.
 
Three doctors were initially abducted, but one was later set free, according to Dr. M.J. Yusuf, Kwara State Chairman of the association at the teaching hospital, who spoke to DAILY POST in Ilorin on Tuesday.
 
He said that, on humanitarian grounds, they reported on Monday to hand over their patients and services to the consultants. However, “we have now stayed away from duty in compliance with the directive from the national headquarters.”
 
The strike action is set to last two weeks, he added, to press their demand for the federal authorities to secure the release of their abducted members.
