<p>Joy was reportedly arrested by a team from Police Force Headquarters Annex, Enugu.</p>
<p>An education technologist, Alex Onyia, disclosed the development in a post on his X handle on Monday.</p>
<p>According to the post, the police officers were sent by the administrator of her former school at Ezzy College of Nursing, Ifeyinwa Peace Okwudu.</p>
<p>“Joy Ezeugwu has been arrested this morning by a team from Police Force Headquarters Annex, Enugu.</p>
<p>“They were sent by her former school’s (Ezzy College of Nursing) administrator Ifeyinwa Peace Okwudu.</p>
<p>“Students and staff oppression have now become a norm. We will dismantle it,” Onyia wrote on X.</p>
<p>DAILY POST recalls that the nurse was suspended in April after her viral video highlighted deteriorating conditions at the facility, including the absence of electricity and running water.</p>
<p>The video gained traction on social media and captured health workers expressing frustration over the challenging environment.</p>
<p>Workers in the video were visibly lamenting that the lack of basic amenities was affecting their ability to deliver adequate care, particularly during emergencies.</p>
<p>Following the release of the video, Okwudu, in a letter sighted by DAILY POST, demanded N10 million in damages from Joy Ezeugwu over an alleged violation of privacy rights.</p>
<p>In formal letter issued by her legal counsel, Ikechukwu Davidmark Ene, the administrator claimed that the recording occurred during an internal staff meeting held at her office.</p>
<p>According to the letter, all attendees were instructed before the meeting to leave behind any mobile phones or recording devices.</p>
<p>Okwudu claimed that Joy was specifically asked if she had any such device and allegedly denied having one, claiming she left her phone at home.</p>
<p>The administrator alleged that Joy concealed a mobile phone in her bag and proceeded to secretly record conversations during the meeting without consent.</p>
