Godday described the deceased as a hardworking doctor in the surgical department, with impeccable character who made positive impact within and outside the hospital.
“We are drawing the attention of the government to address the security challenges along this road and other unrest in the country to save lives and properties.” The chairman decried the senseless killings by unknown gunmen in the country, advising Nigerians to be more vigilant and security conscious.

Godday observed that killings by gunmen were not only the major security challenges facing the nation, adding that other areas of serious concern were unemployment and education.
