 Emmanuel Emenike Reacts After Reported Attack on His Hospital in Imo State

Former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike has expressed sadness following reports that his hospital in Imo State came under attack on October 21, 2026.

Emenike, a member of Nigeria's 2013 Africa Cup of Nations-winning team, said he established the

hospital to give back to his community and provide residents with access to medical care.

In an emotional message shared on Instagram, the footballer recalled how he chose to invest in his home state after representing Nigeria internationally and playing professionally in Europe.

He said the reported incident was painful because the hospital was established to offer care, comfort, and hope to the people.

Emenike also called for the protection and support of the hospital community, stressing that patients and healthcare workers should feel safe.

The development comes days after the footballer criticised the government over alleged corruption and embezzlement of public funds. However, no verified evidence has established a connection between his criticism and the reported attack.

Further information from the hospital management and relevant authorities is needed to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Emenike maintained that Imo State deserves investment and its people deserve safety, adding that hospitals should remain places of care and hope.
