 Medical doctors have warned that Nigeria’s healthcare system is under severe strain due to a worsening manpower crisis, with only about 55,000 doctors currently practising for a population of over 220 million people. The concern was raised at the Ordinary General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital (FNPH), Yaba, Lagos, themed “Too Few Doctors, Too Many Patients: The Consequences of Manpower Shortage on the Mental Well-being of Nigerians.” The doctors, including mental health specialists, said the shortage is significantly worsening access to psychiatric care, leaving millions of Nigerians without adequate treatment. They also disclosed that no fewer than 16,000 Nigerian doctors have left the country in the past five years, intensifying an already critical shortage in the health sector. According to them, the sustained emigration of health workers under the popular “Japa” phenomenon has depleted the menta...

 RE: REPENTED BOKO HARAM MEMBER ENLISTED INTO NIGERIAN ARMY SLITS WOMAN'S THROAT IN ENUGU BARRACKS, HIDES CORPSE

 


The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to a publication by Sahara Reporters on 13 April 2024 tilted, "Repented Boko Haram Member Enlisted into Nigerian Army slits Woman's throat in Enugu Barracks, Hides Corpse." 

 Much as it is highly regrettable that a young lady lost her life in the hands of a man with whom she was in an amorous relationship, the incident should not be latched on to insinuate a laughable claim that the dastardly act was committed by a repentant Boko Haram recruited into the Nigerian Army. 


 It is pertinent therefore to clear the air on the allegation as insinuated by Sahara Reporters. 


The NA has at no point in time, either in the past or present enlisted repentant Boko Haram members to its strength. However, considerations were given to Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) who in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North East distinguished themselves morally and patriotically. Such members of the CJTF must have also shown commitment, dedication and loyalty to the service and the nation.


The sad incident of the gruesome murder of Miss Hauwakulu Tabra by Private Adamu Muhammad occurred on the night of Thursday 11 April 2024 and her corpse was discovered within the barracks on Friday 12 April 2024. Preliminary investigations revealed that the late Hauwakulu Tabra was actually murdered by the said soldier, who is presently in detention for further investigation to unravel the motive behind his actions. 


The Nigerian Army  extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased Miss Hauwakulu Tabra

and also  emphatically assert that at no time has the NA enlisted repentant Boko Haram members into its fold as mischievously insinuated.


The general public should be rest assured that justice will be served, as the NA will not condone any unprofessional conduct or indiscipline within its ranks.
