Peter Obi has condemned the reported raid by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in Akwa Ibom State, criticizing the alleged use of teargas within the hospital premises.
Obi described the operation as dangerous and inappropriate, warning that such actions could have put patients, medical staff, and other vulnerable individuals at serious risk.
He stressed that hospitals are highly sensitive environments where lives are being saved, and any security operation must be carried out with extreme caution to avoid harm or panic.
The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party labelled the reported use of force in the facility as a “thoughtless” action, arguing that it showed disregard for human life and safety.
He further called on relevant authorities to investigate the incident and ensure accountability where necessary, insisting that law enforcement agencies must always balance their duties with the protection of innocent citizens.
The incident has sparked public debate, with many Nigerians expressing concern over the conduct of security operations in critical public institutions.
