The Cross River State Chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), has confirmed the release of two of their kidnapped members.
NMA state chairman, Felix Archibong, confirmed the release to news men in Calabar, the state capital earlier today.
He commended Governor Ben Ayade and security agencies for their efforts in seeing that their members were released.
The released doctors are Joshua Omini, a staff of General Hospital in Ugep community, in the Yakurr Local Government Area of the state, and Ekpo Egong of General Hospital, Calabar.
The NMA chairman said the two medical doctors were released alongside two others in the early hours of the day unhurt through the effort of the state government.
The state Commissioner of Police, Sule Balarabe, had yet to respond to calls and text messages sent to him if arrests were made in the process of regaining the freedom of the doctors.
