Outrage as Enugu Nurse Arrested for Exposing Uwani Hospital’s Dire Conditions

Joy Ezeugwu, a nurse at Uwani General Hospital in Enugu State, was arrested by officers from the Police Force Headquarters Annex after sharing a video revealing the facility’s lack of electricity, running water, and other basic amenities. The arrest reportedly came at the request of her former school’s administrator, Ifeyinwa Peace Okwudu, who alleges Joy secretly recorded an internal staff meeting and is now demanding N10 million for violating privacy rights. Joy was suspended in April when her footage went viral. In the video, health workers lamented how the dire conditions hamper their ability to deliver adequate care, especially during emergencies.
