Owner Doug Hibbs' wife says two masked men were inside when her husband

came into work.

" He said first he had turned his lights on, walked into his office and

found one of the robbers in here prying open a filing cabinet, " Vickie

Hibbs said.

She tells WSAZ.com her husband found one of the burglars prying open the

filing cabinets, using a crowbar and hitting it a dumbbell.

Hibbs told police he asked the burglar what he was doing when the man ran

from the room.

" He tackled him, had him on the floor, and got him down in a choke hold, "

Vickie Hibbs said.

She says another burglar came from the other side of the business and stuck

her husband in the eye with an object. He was left with a black eye and

some cuts and bruises.

Vickie Hibbs says the men cut the telephone lines and yanked out the

security system, but what they were looking for is still unclear since they

got away with nothing.

" We don't keep any kind of drugs, no money, no anything here, " Vickie Hibbs

said. " I don't know what they were looking for, I honestly don't know. "

The two suspects left behind the tools used to break in, and the Hibbs hope

any fingerprints found will help nab the suspects.

The Hibbs have run the therapy clinic at that location for 18 years and say

they have never had any trouble.

They are hoping to recover surveillance video from their security cameras

to help identify the suspects.

If you have any information about the case, you are asked to call the Logan

County State Police detachment.

‘Nigeria has only 10 occupational therapists’

•Expert condemns brain drain

Nigeria has less than 10 occupational therapists, the Medical Director,

Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Dr Abdulrahman Lawal, has said.

He said the shortage of occupational therapists is a worldwide

phenomenon, pointing out that Nigeria is worse because of brain drain.

Lawal spoke at the World Occupational Therapy Day (WOTD) and the 2011/ 2012

Matriculation of the Federal School of Occupational Therapy (FSOT), Lagos.

Lawal said the institution is the only one in West Africa that has been

supplying graduates to hospitals, prisons, among other places.

Lawal, a product of the school, noted that some of the students were

already doing well in the institutions abroad.

" The prospect and potential of occupational therapy is limitless. That is

why we want secondary school pupils to take a career in it, " he said.

He said the 28 matriculated students were admitted after thorough

screening, adding that standards must not be compromised. The idea is for

us to have students that we can be proud of, he said.

Lawal said awareness is poor on the prospect and potential of the

profession.

He said when the students finish, they would proceed to the university to

further their studies.

A member of the Medical Rehabilitation Therapy Board of Nigeria (MRTB), Mr

Joe Nwegwu, said the Federal Government should do something about lack of

occupational therapists in the country.

He said too much attention was given to medicine leaving other health

professions to suffer.
