Dr. Joshua Omini and Dr. Ekpo Egong, both members of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) Cross River State chapter, who were kidnapped by unknown gunmen on Friday, November 18th, 2022 have been released.
Chairman of NMA in the State, Dr. Felix Archibong, confirmed this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Calabar.
Archibong told NAN that his colleagues were released unharmed and unconditionally by security operatives in the early hours of Tuesday.
“I am very excited to confirm to you that our abducted colleagues have been released unharmed and unconditionally.
“I want to thank Governor Ben Ayade and the security operatives for their efforts in ensuring the safe release of our colleagues.
“I also want to thank members of NMA and the public for their support and prayers during this period.
“We are going to have an emergency meeting this morning and hopefully, we are going to suspend the strike that we began on Nov. 21,” he said.
There are reports that some suspects were arrested and detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (State CID).
The NMA had on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike in solidarity with their abducted members; an act the State Government termed blackmailing.
