Nigerian ‘doctor’ Under Investigation In The UK For False Qualifications by afonjaman: 6:36pm On Sep 11, 2017
For a Woman that was once given an MBE ( Member of the excellent order of the British Empire) award, this is a rather shocking revelation.The Nigerian Health worker,Comfort momoh, resident in the United Kingdom was has beenat the forefront of campaigning against female genital mutilation.She was even the first to set an FGM clinic in the UK.

According to recent revelations by Mailonline, the Nigerian trained midwife is under probe for allegedly exaggerating her qualifications.She has regularly refered to herself as ‘Dr Momoh’ even though she is not a qualified medical Doctor.

In her defense, she has a honourary doctorate award from Middlesex university but that does not give her the right to use the title according to UK laws.



Mrs. Momoh, who grew up in Nigeria, is even called a doctor on the website of Guys’ and St. Thomas’ NHS Trust in London where she ran the FGM clinic until recently.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council confirmed that she is under investigation but declined to comment on the details.

According to the BBC programme Newsnight, Mrs. Momoh has also examined children for FGM at least five times, despite not having the relevant qualifications. Official medical guidelines state that only a doctor with specialist training should examine child abuse victims.
