Former Senate President calls for basic health rights for citizens

Operatives from the Adamawa State Police Command successfully apprehended four individuals suspected of armed robbery and managed to recover the tricycle that was allegedly stolen from Nuhu Muhammad.

The incident occurred on Sunday, April 7, when Nuhu Muhammad was attacked near Jimeta Bridge in Yola, the state capital, prompting him to raise an alarm.

According to a statement released by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, the suspected robbers were identified as Abdullahi Yusuf (22 years old), Umar Yahaya (20), Hassan Ishaka (24), and Shuaibu Abubakar (19).

All four suspects are said to be residents of Kwabura village in Hawal Local Government Area of Borno State.

The police explained that the suspects boarded the tricycle as passengers and then used force and dangerous weapons to threaten the tricyclist once they reached Jimeta Bridge, eventually pushing him out of the vehicle and fleeing with it.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has assured that the suspects will face charges of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery once the investigation is concluded.

The World Health Day 2024 serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for the theme of this year’s campaign, “My Health, My Right.”

This theme underscores the significance of every individual’s right to quality healthcare and the ability to make informed decisions about their health.

It is believed that health is a basic human right that should be accessible to all, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, with access to essential healthcare services like clean air, water, nutritious food, and safe living conditions being crucial for overall well-being.
