According to reports from multiple Nigerian outlets, the doctors say the attacks have been recurring and are calling for urgent action to improve security and prevent further violence in the hospital. The doctors also demand accountability for the incidents, stating that they want justice and stronger measures to protect medical staff.
During the protest, the doctors warn that they cannot guarantee industrial harmony unless concrete safety steps are implemented. They frame their action as a response to persistent threats to healthcare workers, affecting day-to-day hospital operations. Both accounts describe the protest as being led by resident doctors at FMC Owo and centered on security concerns and the need to stop assaults against staff.
The reports emphasize that the doctors are seeking intervention to ensure safer working conditions within the facility.
