EFCC Denies Assault on UUTH Staff, Launches Investigation

The EFCC says its operatives did not assault staff at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital during a visit on May 12. The agency maintains the trip was purely administrative to verify a document, not to make arrests. The commission found no evidence of bodily injury but has ordered an internal probe into the allegations. It warns that any officer who deviated from standard procedures will face disciplinary action. The EFCC reassures the public that no one was detained and urges against efforts to exploit the incident to weaken Nigeria’s anti-corruption drive.
