The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has confirmed the release of Dr Edwin Emegakor, who was abducted in Anambra State earlier this month.
Dr Emegakor, Medical Director of Crown Multi-Specialist Hospital in Nkpor, reportedly regained freedom after spending several days in captivity following his abduction on May 7.
Confirming the development, the Chairman of the NMA in Anambra, Dr Princeton Okam, expressed gratitude over the doctor’s safe return and commended security operatives for their efforts.
“He is healthy, in high spirits, and responding well after the traumatic experience,” Okam stated.
The association also disclosed that its planned industrial action would now be reviewed following the doctor’s release.
