Doctors in Calabar are currently embarking on a peaceful demonstration in respect of its kidnapped colleague.
A medical practitioner at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital Dr Marcus was kidnapped in calabar about 6 days ago.
The doctors took their protest first to the Cross River state House of Assembly Complex calabar, carried placards bearing various inscriptions demanding the safe and unconstitutional release of their colleague.
The protesting doctors who are been led by the state chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr Agam Ayuk and the Secretary, Dr Ezoke have also taken their protest to the Governor's office.
At the Governor's office, we gathered that the doctors have refused to be addressed by the permanent secretary in charge of security and have demanded audience with the Governor or his deputy. This however has led to the barricading of the entrance to the Governor's office as the doctors have refused to leave.
More details later.
