NMA Anambra Chapter Calls off indefinite Strike

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Anambra Branch, has called off the indefinite strike it embarked upon to protest the kidnapping of Dr. Stephen Ezeh, a private practitioner based in Ihiala.

In a statement signed by Dr. Princeston Okam and Dr. Ifeanyi Obiaeli, the Chairman and Secretary of the NMA Anambra Branch, respectively, the association announced on Sunday that the decision followed the release of Dr. Ezeh from his captors.

Recall that Dr. Ezeh was kidnapped in Ihiala on August 15, leading the NMA to direct its members to down tools on August 22, after issuing a prior 48-hour ultimatum.

“The total and indefinite strike action called by the NMA Anambra Branch to protest the kidnapping of our member, Dr. Stephen Ezeh, is hereby called off following his release.
