Abducted Kaduna female doctor regains freedom 10 months after
Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre in Kaduna State, was abducted together with her husband, Nurudeen Popoola, a squadron leader, and her nephew, Folaranmi Abdul-Mugniy, who lives with them.
Following lengthy discussions with the captors, the husband was released on March 8, 2024, but the doctor and Abdul-Mugniy were not.

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.
