Plateau Hospital Dismisses Abduction Plot

Plateau State Specialist Hospital in Jos dismissed reports of tension after an internal memo, dated April 13, 2025, detailing an alleged terrorist plot to abduct medical workers, was leaked and circulated on social media. The memo, signed by Jina Leah, warned that terrorist groups planned to kidnap doctors, nurses, and other health workers, particularly in 'frontline states' like Nigeria — Plateau State, to treat their wounded members. The hospital management, through its Public Relations Officer Talatu Achan Angi, stated on April 15, 2026, that the memo was an internal security briefing meant to encourage vigilance and that the hospital remains safe and fully operational, urging the public to disregard sensational reports.
