Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers attacked the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) in Ituku Ozalla, Enugu State, in the early hours of Tuesday.

The attack comes after a previous incident earlier this year when a resident doctor was abducted from the hospital premises but later managed to escape from the kidnappers’ den.

According to reports, the attackers abducted a female deputy director of the hospital and a security personnel during the Tuesday morning raid.

The assailants reportedly abandoned an SUV belonging to the abducted woman, a nurse, which displayed signs of bullet perforations on the front passenger side, as seen in a viral video.

“This is so sad; we are not safe at all in this hospital; everywhere is porous,” a distressed staff member told Vanguard newspaper reporter.

The police and hospital management have not yet officially confirmed the incident, and details about the circumstances surrounding the abduction remain unclear.
