Her abduction prompted the NMA to embark on an industrial action that lasted for 40 days.
A magistrates’ court in Calabar ordered that nine men be remanded for kidnapping Ekanem Ephraim, a lead consultant in neurology at UCTH.
According to her family, the NMA in Cross River, in the last 25 days, has not received any response or proof that the doctor is alive.
Mr Ephraim was kidnapped from her residence on July 13 by armed men disguised as patients.
Ms Ephraim was kidnapped at about 7:30 p.m. last Thursday from her residence by armed men who pretended to be patients.
The doctors noted that despite all their efforts to ensure the release of their colleague, Ms Ephraim has remained in captivity.
The NMA chairman in Cross River, Felix Archibong, said the kidnapped doctor worked with the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH).
