Jos — Dr.Osaretin Osagie, a medical doctor with the Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH, was on Wednesday brutally murdered at his residence in Rayfield, Jos, the Plateau State capital by unknown assailants.
we gathered that the deceased, who heard strange movements at his residence around 7.10 p.m, and went out to check around the house, was attacked by the assailants who kept hitting him with various weapons until he bled profusely and laid unconscious. At the time of filing in this report, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Lerama said that the Police command was not aware and had not received such a report.
However, Dr. Christopher Piwuna, the National Vice President of the Nigerian Medical Association, confirmed the incident, saying doctors in Nigeria had become targets who were murdered and kidnapped for ransoms.
"The brutal murder of Dr. Osagie has raised a lot of eyebrows and cannot just be dismissed as a coincidence; so, we are calling on the authorities to look into the matter as a matter of urgency, so that the culprits of this inhuman act would face the wrath of the law"..
