Peter Obi Decries DSS Raid and Detention of Prof. Martin Aghaji

1 / 3

Professor Martin Aghaji, a renowned 74-year-old cardiothoracic surgeon and one of Nigeria’s first open-heart surgeons, was seized from his home in Enugu by the DSS at 2 a.m. and taken to Lagos for three days without explanation. Peter Obi condemned this “disheartening humiliation,” arguing that every Nigerian, regardless of status, deserves respect and due process. He warned that such arbitrary actions risk driving away skilled professionals and weakening our healthcare system. This incident echoes a recent case in Akwa Ibom and underscores a wider clash between state security operations and the rule of law in Nigeria.
