He noted that while security agencies have the power to carry out arrests, such actions must not endanger lives or disrupt sensitive environments like hospitals.
Reports said EFCC operatives entered the hospital during an attempt to arrest a senior medical lecturer and used tear gas within the premises.
The incident reportedly caused panic among staff and patients, forcing some to flee for safety.
Obi warned that such operations undermine respect for human dignity and weaken trust in public institutions.
He called for greater restraint in enforcement activities, especially in places where lives depend on uninterrupted medical care.
