This has happened to HOs, Regs, MOs.
Many people kept quiet.
If they go beyond this and if we let Profs case go without retribution, then we have finally buried the last respect of the profession and the hospital.
Prof. Ekpe comes to the hospital during the weekends and goes to the A&E looking for consults in the consult box.
E get as consult go dey urgent, e go collect am from HO hand.
E no go better for una.
@officialEFCC You statement and that of the Polic force AKS chapters are contradictory. Police reports said the gates were open on request but you said otherwise.
You lots take Nigerians for fools.
RE: Alleged assault, brutalization, arrest, and detention of Professor Eyo Ekpe, DCMAC UUTH Uyo (and others) by suspected operatives of the EFCC: DIRECTIVE TO THE CHAIRMAN , NMA AKWA IBOM STATE AND INDEED ALL OTHER CHAIRMEN OF STATE AND FCT BRANCHES OF NMA
This is to officially convey that the, The National Officers Committee (NOC) of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), ably led by Dr (Prof) Afekhide Ernest Omoti, is fully briefed and in full cognizance of the above unfortunate incident affecting some of our members in Akwa Ibom State.
The NOC condemns, in the strongest possible terms, such alleged reckless and barbaric behaviors allegedly displayed by operatives of the EFCC within the premises of a public hospital and against medical personnel in the course of their daily duty of rendering life-saving services.
The National Officers Committee has begun high-level engagements to get to the root of this matter and seek redress at the highest quarters. This NOC will not tolerate continuing harassment of doctors in any form whatsoever.
While at it; the President of NMA hereby directs as follows:
1. That the Akwa Ibom State branch of NMA has the full support of the NMA NOC and the NOC approves of all lawful measures that the branch has taken so far, including any other such lawful actions they may take in the near future, to seek complete redress on the subject matter
2. That henceforth, in any event of unlawful and unwarranted harassment of any doctor in the course of duty elsewhere, the leadership of all State and FCT Branches where such incidents occur must demand the identification and prosecution of any such law enforcement agents
3. That the demand in (2) above must be on the minimum demand for truce at all times
It must, however, be noted, by all law enforcement agencies and members of public, that nothing in this directive suggests that law enforcement agents should not carry out their lawful duties, but that such activities must be in accordance with highest ethical standards for law enforcement, rule of law, decorum and common decency expected of modern law enforcement establishments.
Thank you

@Nigerian_Doctor You can only know your limits when you know what you’re doing.
That’s why quacks are fearless because they don’t understand the gravity of what they’re doing.
You can’t respect a line you cannot see.
As a doctor, there's nothing as sweet as working with a nurse that makes your work flow seamlessly.
To all the good and beautiful nurses I've worked with, thank you.
Happy International Nurses week 🎉
"Healthcare workers are heroes."
We don't want to be heroes.
We want electricity. Working equipment. Salary paid on time. We want a system that doesn't send us to die quietly in a call room.
It is an absolute shame that the Christian church in Nigeria has become a platform for thieves, criminals and heartless wicked politicians.
This message here is long long overdue.
I wish every Nigerian will see this video
Being HCW in Nig sucks Your colleagues in saner climes are thinking 2030, while you’re at a private hospital locum debating who should wear scrubs, cannulate, change catheter on X. Our leaders dragged us down to survival mode conversations, lowest on Maslow's hierarchy of needs😭
Since we are all going this
