LAGOS, May 20 (Reuters) - Nigeria's largest medical union,
the Nigerian medical association (NMA), on Wednesday ordered its
members in the commercial capital Lagos to launch an indefinite
strike over alleged police harassment.
The NMA, in a statement, said an indefinite "sit-in" should
begin at 6pm (1700 GMT) on Wednesday after complaints of
harassment from health workers resulting from "conflicting
directives" on whether they were exempt from movement
restrictions related to the coronavirus epidemic.
A Lagos police spokesman did not respond to phone calls and
a text message seeking comment.
