*LOSS OF A HERO* 🕊️

On behalf of Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman–led NARD NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and the entire NARDITES, we mourn with heavy hearts the tragic and untimely passing of Dr. Salome Oboyi, Senior Registrar in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos.

Dr. Salome passed on Monday, 2nd February 2026, after contracting Lassa Fever from a patient under her care—a painful reminder of the daily risks doctors take while serving humanity.

She did not die chasing fame.
She did not die seeking applause.
She died doing her job—saving lives.

A selfless doctor.
A devoted healer.
A fallen hero.

Her death is not just a personal loss to her family or an institutional loss to BHUTH; it is a collective tragedy for the Nigerian medical community and a glaring symbol of a systemic failure that continues to claim the lives of our finest minds in silence.

We sincerely commiserate with the Management of Bingham University Teaching Hospital, her colleagues, friends, her grieving family, the entire NARDITES, and the Nigerian medical community at large.

May her sacrifice not be forgotten.

May her death not be in vain.
May her story awaken a nation.

Rest in perfect peace Dr. Salome Oboyi 🕊️
Your light will not fade.
