Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) says abductors of two of its members have called to demand N100 million ransom for their release.
The two medical doctors were abducted by gunmen in Cross River State on Friday , November 18.
Felix Archibong, the state Chairman of NMA, who confirmed development said the doctors were kidnapped at the Ikomita area of the Calabar-Ikom highway.
He said two other persons were abducted alongside the two doctors.
Also confirming the incident, Sule Balarabe, commissioner of police in the state, said the command is currently working to ensure the release of the abductees.
“We are going to comb the forest to secure their release. I assure you that the matter will adequately be dealt with. I am not just sitting in Calabar to give orders, I am also on the ground with my men,” Balarabe said.
“We have the cooperation of the locals, and I believe we will have positive results. I am on the ground with various units.
“We are hitting the nails on its head as I speak, we must make sure we secure the release of the victims unharmed.” (NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
