HEALTH GOSSIP: Fake LUTH medical doctor nabbed by Police!!

According to the Police, Mr. Adeyemi Stephen Akintolure, a suspected fake medical doctor, who claimed to be a staff of Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, with card No. 13541, identifying him as a surgeon and gynaecologist (BOSS only u)



He said he is from Ondo State, studied Marketing at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, as a part-time student and graduated in 1997.



According to Akintolure, "I have not treated more than 10 people. I just treat them for malaria and typhoid and I also give injections too because of my experience at RivicHospital at Akure."



When asked how he got the identity card, he said he got it from a business centre and that the computer operator signed it for him.



He said that he charges between N3,000 and N4,000 per patient, adding that his wife was not aware of his trade.



Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police Ngozi Braide, said she received a petition at the area H Police Command Headquarters, Ogudu, on July 19, that one Adeyemi Stephen Akintolure obtained N500,000 from one Joy Umosekhaimhe.



She said: "On October 10, LUTH replied that the suspect is not an employee of the hospital and was not issued the identity card.



"In view of the revelation, the suspect confessed that he is not a medical doctor, but has been practising for about four years, using his wife's vehicle as a mobile clinic."



She said his house and vehicle were searched and drugs, injections, syringes and laboratory coat were recovered.



I guess that was just too much... An Art-student turned Science-Student... But thing remains, there are so many others like him out there...
