A viral video has captured the moment police officers raided an alleged illegal clinic, confronting individuals at the facility over a procedure being carried out on a patient.
In the footage, an officer questions a man at the facility about the operation he was performing on a patient, asking whether he was attempting to remove a goitre and whether he was the doctor in charge.
When asked to identify himself, the man reportedly described himself as a trainee, prompting the officer to ask who the actual doctor was.
The officers subsequently encountered a shirtless patient lying on a bed with a drip attached to his body, with the scene prompting an alarmed reaction from one of the officers.
“Oga, surgery has ended!” the officer exclaimed before expressing concern over what they had discovered.
The officer also questioned those at the facility and called for the individuals involved to be held while further action was taken.
The footage has sparked concerns about patient safety and the dangers of undergoing medical procedures at unlicensed facilities.
However, the exact location of the raid, the identities of those involved and the patient’s medical condition were not established in the supplied footage.
