However, in a telephone conversation with the Daily Trust on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, Tope Osundara, President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, confirmed Popoola and her nephew’s release.
“Yes, it is true. It happened today (Wednesday). For now, we have insulated her away from people; we only allow very limited access to her,” Osundara stated.
The NARD president also noted that no ransom was paid to secure her release.
“No ransom was paid at all,” he said.
It will be recalled that NARD had embarked on strike, demanding her rescue from the hands of her abductors.
