The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has expressed profound grief over the death of two medical doctors from Sokoto Specialist Hospital, along with four other individuals in a tragic road accident on Bodinga-Yabo road.
The deceased doctors, Dr. Anas Chika and Dr. Abubakar Liman Shehu, were on their way to Kebbi State on Sunday when their vehicle collided with an oncoming truck, resulting in the loss of all six occupants of the car.
Speaking on behalf of the medical community, the state chairman of the NMA, Dr. Farouk Kabiru, described the doctors as young and dedicated professionals whose contributions to the health sector would be deeply missed.
The Chief Medical Director of Sokoto Specialist Hospital, Dr. Attahiru Isa, also expressed his sorrow, highlighting the critical roles both doctors played in the hospital.
“Dr. Anas was attached to the Gynaecology Department (O and G), while Dr. Shehu worked in the General Out-patient Department (GOPD) and also served as the Chief Imam of the department. Both were dedicated, humble, and hardworking. Their passing is a significant loss to the hospital and the state,” Dr. Isa said.
“These were doctors who continued to persevere in their roles despite the demanding nature of their units. We are truly heartbroken, but we submit to the will of Allah and pray that He grants them Jannatul Firdaus and consoles their families.”
