Doctors Protest In Imo

Members of the Nigeria Medical Association, Imo State chapter on Thursday staged a peaceful demonstration in Owerri, the state capital.

The move was to kick against the condition of health care system in Imo State and the alleged use of intimidation on them by the state government.

The protesting doctors carried placard with various inscriptions. They also kicked against the shooting of some of their colleagues by security operatives.

According to the NMA, relevant security agencies in the state, including the DSS and police were informed of their planned demonstration and that they got the nod to go ahead.

But they expressed shock that the police later harassed them during their peaceful protest.
