Kidnapped doctor shot on his buttocks while trying to escape.

Doctors within Oghara and environs in Delta State are lamenting the spate of kidnappings of their members as a medical doctor, Dr. Victor Ogagavwario, is currently nursing a gunshot wound on his right buttocks while trying to escape from his abductors.

President, Association of Resident Doctors, ARD, DELSUTH chapter, Dr. Innocent Okocha, weekend, explained that the doctor attached to the Delta State Teaching Hospital, DELSUTH, Oghara, was rescued following pressure mounted on the hoodlums by security operatives.

According to Dr. Okocha, the victim prior to his recent ordeal had earlier suffered similar fate in April 2014 and June 2015 after he was kidnapped and released following the payment of an undisclosed amount.

Appealing to the security agencies in the state to ensure the security of lives and properties in the area, Okocha said: “As it stands, we are like endangered species in Oghara as the spate of kidnapping of our colleagues is very worrisome.”
