A man who holds a secondary school certificate, Stephen Nwankwo, but worked as a doctor in a fake hospital has been arrested alongside the owner of the hospital.

Nwankwo said they took delivery of over 90 babies within the two years he worked in the hospital established by 39-year-old Gabriel Onyema, another secondary school leaver, who lives in Ghana and sells paper.

The suspects spoke with journalists while being paraded on Friday at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja.

Spokesperson for the police command, Ngozi Braide, said Nwankwo and Onyema were arrested by officers of Area ‘E’ Police Command, FESTAC Town, after a pregnant woman, who had gone to the hospital, died during labour.

40-year-old Nwankwo said he was an auxiliary doctor in a hospital in Ondo State before he moved to Lagos, where he was employed by Onyema.

But while being questioned by journalists, it turned out that he was only a non-medical employee in the unnamed hospital.

The suspect said, “I worked in a hospital in Ondo State sometime ago. I finished from a secondary school before getting a job in Care Hospital, Iba.

“I met Gabriel (Onyema) in the house where he was living in Iba and told him the house was good for a hospital. We then teamed up and entered into a partnership with another man, Dr. Abayomi.

“Gabriel later said I should start working in the hospital as a doctor as well. We undertook up to 90 deliveries. There was a delivery we started about 8 am but did not end until 4 pm. The woman lost a lot of blood. When the baby did not come out on time, we used hand to pull the baby out.”

He, however, claimed that the woman and her baby survived the operation.

Onyema said he lives mostly in Ghana “where I sell bond papers.”

Asked if the hospital was registered, he said, “Work is ongoing on the registration.”

He stated, “I don’t really know all the details of what the doctors I employed there do. They are in the best position to tell you since I was always in Ghana.”

When journalists asked if he was aware his employees perform illegal procedures in the hospital, Onyema said, “Ask me a valid question.” He refused to answer questions onwards.

Meanwhile, the police also paraded four robbery suspects who were arrested during a gun battle with a team of anti-robbery men in Okokomaiko area of Lagos.

“On July 26, 2013, the control room got a distress call that a woman was being robbed in her house in Okokomaiko. The men of the anti-robbery team under the Area ‘E’ Command were able to arrest Godwin Obinwa, who later gave a confession, which led to the arrest of other members of the gang – Nonso Mbonu, Emmanuel Andy and Duke Onugbo,” Braide said.

The police recovered eight guns at Fooma Hotel, Okokomaiko, where the robbers lodged.

Wen U Wan Carry Out Ur Next Abortion, U Fih Go Meet Am!!

Wonderful!
Welcome to Nigeria.
A country where professional knowledge is not necessary since the passion is there?
Why go for training when it is a talent?
Besides, who say you can not learn with human lives.
And did you see the feat?
90 babies in two years? With no medical training? No license!
This guy should be in guiness books of records.
And he should have been asked how many abortions. Am sure it might be over 1,000.
Two years before the hospital was noticed? What a shame!
So if a baby did not die there, that hospital would still have been functioning? This is the height of irresponsibility. A Lackadaisical attitude by the agency/ministry involved.
SMH for this country.
We keep dreaming of the future while forgetting its the present that births the future.
Issokay....

Hmmm!

some countries do have them

How e take manage to deliver 90 babies, na God sabi!

The answer is simple. Since he has delivered 90 babies successfully for a long time, first, punish him for performing the deliveries illegally because he has no certification (Maybe 20months prison term). Then, after his release, offer him a scholarship to get certified and fully qualified and let him continue his work. That's rehabilitation. He has saved lives, though illegally, so he must be punished. He is also a good resource that could be refurbished.

As for the robbers, their verdict is simple.

news: A woman was being robbed in her house in Okokomaiko. The men of the anti-robbery team under the Area ‘E’ Command were able to arrest Godwin Obinwa, who later gave a confession, which led to the arrest of other members of the gang – Nonso Mbonu, Emmanuel Andy and Duke Onugbo

. Just arrange 12 years for each of them. Let them continue their activities in prison.

Only in Nigeria.. Smh

Nawa oh. If to say he study medicine and surgery halfway. E for better.

Na Wah oh

The minister or registrar of hospitals should be sacked and these guys jailed for a long time. A hospital should not be registered like a palm oil business. All these things should be regulated. If there is a body that regulates the practice of medicine and hospitals they should all be sacked too. Also certified doctors should have a database so people can make informed choices.2013 for God sake. So pathetic

too many fakes in Nigeria nawa ooo

imagine

Hmmmm his face alone.......a casual conversation with him should be enough to tell he isn't a doctor or any such thing

Fake story.

Chinwem: Hmmmm his face alone.......a casual conversation with him should be enough to tell he isn't a doctor or any such thing

Lol!

What tha?

Make I give my grandmama something before this story kill am. . . .

Saw it on the news a few minutes ago.
90 babies were delivered but only God knows how many have died in their hands.

Dis looks like seun's uncle.

Though kudos to the police on the arrest of the fake doctor bt this is just a tip of the ice berg. There thousands out there yet to be discovered or arrested. They thrive in their business because the level of medical facility provide by the govt can not round adequately and because they offer cheap services compared to well established private hospital but perhaps most importantly Nigeria is a free state. One can do most unimaginable thing on earth and go scotfree!

Exactly, he surely won't make mention of the number of deaths.

Brimmie: That doesn't change the fact he's fake and need to be charged to court.
