Professor Martin Aghaji is a well known figure. The Nnewi born medical Doctor is a renowned heart surgeon and of of the first people in Nigeria to perform open heart surgery. He is also the personal Doctor to IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Three days ago, the DSS broke into Aghaji's home in Enugu, bundled him away to Lagos, held him for two days, and released him without any explanation. Peter Obi took to his Facebook page to respond :

The Disheartening Humiliation of Prof. Aghaji.

Every day in this country, we find ourselves in a bizarre situation that we find difficult to understand: where we are and how we got to this uncivilised behaviour and rascality. Worse still when you try to bring these abnormalities to the attention of those concerned, they resort to abuse instead of appreciation.


Just this morning, my attention was drawn to the disrespectful and humiliating circumstances surrounding the apprehension of Professor Martin Aghaji, a distinquished 74-year-old medical expert. This man was not invited, nor was anv direct contact made with him. Instead, thev invaded his home at Independent Layout, Enugu, in the dead of the night, at 2 a.m., to arrest him in front of his visiting daughter.
As an internationally recognised cardiothoracic surgeon, esteemed academic, and elder statesman Professor Aghaji warrants a considerable degree of respect, both because of his advanced age and his substantial contributions to our nation. More mportantly, however, every Nigerian, irrespective of status or profession, deserves to be treated with dignity and in accordance with the rule of law. After the humiliation of breaking into his house and whisking him away from Enugu to Lagos for three days, all he got was, "Sorry, we made a mistake."


The public outcry concerning the state's handling of Professor Aghaii's case highlights a wider conflict between the actions of state security agencies and the imperative to safeguard professional integrity and individual dignity. Such conduct directed at a 74-year-old might not only exacerbate the critical "brain drain" but also severely damage the country's already precarious healthcare infrastructure.

This incident brings to mind the similar mistreatment of a medical practitioner in Akwa Ibom, which prompted the Nigeria Medical Association to consider a nationwide strike. Fortunately, due to prompt intervention, a formal public apology was issued to the affected doctor.
The practice of treating highly regarded, ethical professionals - and indeed any Nigerian - like common criminals sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law across all sectors. Therefore, we must conduct ourselves with civility in the discharge of our public duties. A superior and renewed Nigeria is indeed POssible.

Some clarifications needed.

You lots are insufferable , do you know how important that man is to nigeria . Do you know how many cardiothoracic surgeon we have in nigeria that the few we have , we're manhandling them ? Same happened in calabar about a month ago ; doctors are japaing , the few seasoned one remaining aren't we suppose to protect them and treat them like national treasure .

So Because the Doctor is treating a known and dangerous criminal called Nnamdi Kanu means the doctor is above the law.

There's nothing numerical about you , jeez you're so dense

He burnt the midnight oils
Unless there's proof otherwise
Unwise the so called state actors running affairs this period in our history
Unfortunately, late - destroying, demised person, He Shoc Me is being considered for a meritorious award...guess, by whom....
His cronies......
??!!!!!!!!!!

OP intentionally added "Nnamdi Kanus doctor" to the man's name for greater propaganda impact.
That is their stock in thread; ethnic rage baiting.
This is a distinguished cardiologist. The fact that this octogenarian was bundled from his sleep into detention, in the wee hours of the night, without any prior invitation, was conveniently lost on him.. Regime apologists and their lust for tyranny.
Maybe the mischievous OP thinks we are still in the days of the Oyo empire..

So Because the Doctor is treating a known and dangerous criminal called Nnamdi Kanu means the doctor is above the law.

This is a classical case of victim mentality



Peter Obi is not an intelligent person because I don't see how a doctor who treats the terrorist called Nnmadi Kanu granted his doctor the right to be above the law

Your lord and personal saviour, I mean the Chicago dust mover, is the real "known and dangerous criminal"

Is the doctor above the law?
Or does treating Nnamdi Kanu grant him rights above the laws of the land?

Tueh!

Is the doctor above the law? So because he is Igbo means he is above the law?
No wonder Nigerians always laugh at you people.

Peter Obi when you become the commander in chief of the country you can cook ofe nsala with security intelligence but till then keep that your feminine induced voice out of national security issues.

Obi should shut his trap! He's not commented on the Oyo rescue due to his Agbotikuyo nature! Criminal!

Cry harder.

Na GP tank we go take collect una tears next year after elections.


Peter Obi the failed politician was caught lying by CCTV canera at Abuja Airport

DSS is a collection of animals. The structure is destructive

Alimodu the one that created Boko haram according to Shettima?

I would be worried if your president is pardoning and reintegrating Terrorists into your Army

Hate has destroyed their ability to reason properly like normal humans imagine harassing and arresting a distinguished experienced medical professional like this like a common criminal while refusing to do anything to shiek gumi that openly supports terrorists and bandits.

Ok, next topic, plsmore important thing to discuszavout not this nonsense talks.

Guess who is not a dangerous criminal

Boko haram terrorists

Because Tinubu forgives them and reintegrates them back into your society

LibertyRep:

He doesn't respond to unserious people
Obi has no police officer as his driver and keyamo should do better and apologize.

Only lowlife believe in that video clip

Try and read again and comprehend....
Anyway, not many passed compression in Olevel

Prof taught me during my MBBS Nig.
Great teacher and great mind with skilled fingers.

How is Prof Aghaji NK doctor?
And where in the article is it mentioned that he is NK doctor or that PO is responding because the prof is NK doctor?

RichDad1:

Right about what? That they invaded a prominent personality or anyone at all at 2am and after 3 days declared it was a mistake? Ali Modu Sheriff that is among those keeping the north on its knee is in no place to speak of anyone. Not some as different as OBI.

The only reason igbos talk about Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra is the state of Nigeria. If this country treats her citizens well no tribe or zone would think of breaking up. Reason they keep fighting by supporting Obi whom they have seen without stain so far. If Obi had been involved in any form real scandal or criminality Igbos won’t support him
