🚨 BREAKING: THE THEATRE IS NO LONGER SACRED. TOP SURGEON BRUTALIZED AT UUTH. 🇳🇬 We are receiving horrific reports from the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH). This isn't just a news update; it is a direct assault on the medical profession. This morning, May 12, 2026, armed and masked operatives identified by eyewitnesses as personnel from the EFCC stormed the federal facility in a commando-style raid. They didn't come to arrest a criminal; they came for Professor Eyo Ekpe. Professor Ekpe is a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He is the Deputy CMAC of UUTH. He is one of the few specialists standing between life and death for millions of Nigerians in the South-South. Witnesses say the operatives were ruthless. Staff members who tried to intervene were beaten and threatened with firearms. Imagine being a Professor of Medicine and the Deputy CMAC of a tertiary hospital, only to be dragged out of your office like a common thief. Reports suggest this assault was triggered by a dispute over a medical report for a relative of a high-ranking official. However, the EFCC has yet to issue an official statement explaining the reason for the raid itself, as the entire situation simply does not make sense. We are calling on the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA): How much more can we take? If a Professor of Surgery is not safe in his own hospital, who is? Nigeria is bleeding specialists, and today, the system just cut its own throat. We demand the immediate release of Professor Ekpe and a total apology for this desecration of our health sector. 🩺✊
