The Nigerian Medical Association, Federal Capital Territory (NMA-FCT), has announced the release of Dr Chinonye Nwachukwu, after spending three weeks in kidnappers’ captivity.
Nwachukwu, a Ukraine-trained doctor, was abducted on October 21 while commuting to Garki Hospital, Abuja.
Her disappearance sparked widespread concern among colleagues, family members, and the broader medical community across the territory.
The NMA-FCT, in a statement issued on Monday by its chairman, Dr Emeka Ayogu, disclosed that Nwachukwu was found in the Gwagwalada area of Abuja on Sunday night.

Ayogu also expressed gratitude to security agencies and all stakeholders who contributed to the successful rescue, describing the development as a collective victory for the NMA-FCT and Nigeria’s medical community.
