Peter Obi Criticizes EFCC for Hospital Disruption

Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, condemned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its actions at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, where EFCC operatives attempted to arrest surgeon Professor Eyo Ekp. Obi described the disruption of hospital services as a "thoughtless act" and expressed dismay over the EFCC's use of tear gas in a fragile hospital environment.

He stated that nothing justifies such actions, which he characterized as disorderly and a source of stress for patients and staff. Obi emphasized the need for respect for the dignity of citizens and condemned the ongoing disorderly conduct associated with public officials.

His statement was made on Thursday, reflecting his concern for the impact of such actions on healthcare services.
