The 1995 Class of University of Nigeria College of Medicine, Enugu, going by the name, “Justice for Enoch Coalition”, have cried out over the gruesome death of one of their own, Dr. Enoch Okpara on June 13th, 2020.
Dr Enoch Okpara, a senior consultant obstetrician and gynecologist with Federal Medical Centre, Gusau Zamfara State was found murdered at his Mareri area residence in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
A member of 1995 graduating class of University of Nigeria College of Medicine Enugu, Enoch began residency (postgraduate medical) training in obstetrics and gynecology at University of Ilorin Kwara State and rose to the position of a senior registrar before he relocated to Federal Medical Center, Gusau Zamfara State where he completed his residency and was subsequently appointed a consultant.
At the FMC Gusau, he rose to the rank of a senior consultant before his untimely death.
According to his colleagues, “unknown assailants invaded Enoch’s Gusau residence where he lived alone and inflicted on him with multiple machete cuts. He died helplessly in his pool of cold blood”.
“Not done and driven by beastly cruelty, the killers evacuated him to his courtyard and set him ablaze utilizing the fuel from his power generator”, they alleged.
