The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council, has condemned the brutal killing of Nurse Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem at Federal Medical Centre, Abuja. The council expressed deep sorrow, outrage and total condemnation over the unjust and brutal killing of its innocent young colleague, Nurse Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, who was in active service at the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja. Nurses leave their homes daily to save lives, yet many are uncertain of returning alive to their families. “We demand justice for our fallen colleague and urgent government intervention to guarantee the safety and security of all nurses and healthcare workers in the Federal Capital Territory. Anything short of decisive action will further expose nurses to danger and erode public confidence in the nation’s security system,” the statement added.
