The security agencies, particularly the Nigeria Police are understaffed and are not as sophisticated in technology and weaponry as the kidnappers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cKidnappers have become more emboldened and daring because of the lack of capacity of the security agencies. Kidnapping of medical doctors and health professionals in Kogi State has the capacity to disrupt medical and healthcare services, and also create tension amongst the practitioners\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The association, however, called on the government, particularly the Kogi State Government to immediately step up efforts at supporting the security agencies to upgrade their capacity to deal with kidnapping in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebirareporters.com\">It<\/a> added that there is a need to reverse this ugly situation of insecurity in the State so that the other achievements of the government will not pale into irrelevance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Kogi-based medical doctor, Dr Rukayat Musa, who was kidnapped on June 21, 2022, has regained freedom from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1058,34,1731],"class_list":{"0":"post-3493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-geregu","8":"tag-kogi","9":"tag-rukayat-musa"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Abducted Female Doctor Freed in Kogi - Ebira Reporters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Kogi-based medical doctor, Dr Rukayat Musa, who was kidnapped on June 21, 2022, has regained freedom from the hands of her abductors.
