NMA Calls Off Anambra Strike After Dr. Emegakor’s Safe Release
The Nigeria Medical Association in Anambra has confirmed the safe release of Dr. Edwin Emegakor, who was abducted on May 7. Chairman Dr. Princeton Okam made the announcement in Awka just before a planned strike. Emegakor, Medical Director at Crown Multi-Specialist Hospital in Nkpor, was seized by armed men wearing security uniforms after treating a patient. Police operatives helped secure his freedom. He is now healthy, in good spirits, and back with his family. The NMA has paused its strike and will hold an emergency meeting to decide on next steps. The association thanked all who assisted in the rescue and urged the Anambra government to strengthen protection of life and property.
