Ibrahim Mustapha, a fake doctor and principal medical officer of Cottage hospital, Fufore in Adamawa state, has been arrested by the Department of State Services for killing patients in the cause of his fake practice.

He is said to have performed over 500 surgical operations causing the death of about 46 patients from January to May 2019.

Parading the fake doctor in Yola on Thursday, DSS Director in the state, Bola Olori, said the DSS has, “effected the arrest of one Ibrahim Mustapha, who operated illegally as a PMO in Fufore Cottage hospital, Fufore local government area of Adamawa state”.

Mr. Olori said a preliminary investigation revealed that Mustapha holds National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) certificate, an equivalent of Senior Secondary School certificate or High School.

The fake surgeon confessed to forging MBBS credentials according to the DSS but denied causing the death of any patient throughout his career until his arrest.

“Yes, I’ve forged the documents as stated by the DSS boss and also done both major and minor surgical operations, including caesarian section, altogether more than 500 surgeries without causing the death of any of my patients as claimed.”

But the DSS said, “He perfected the illicit act in Gombe where he worked as a ward attendant in several clinics. He was aided by a practicing doctor who gave him sample copies of his NECO results, MBBS of Bayero University Kano, NYSC Discharge certificate and Medical and Dental Council if Nigeria, annual registration license.

“The suspect subsequently gained employment into the Adamawa state Hospital Management Board in October 2015 as a doctor and rose to the post of PMO, serving at both the Cottage hospital Mayo-Belwa and Fufore.”

Mustapha ran out of luck when he attended visa interview as a potential medical team member for the 2019 hajj operations.

He was exposed by a man who knew him in Gombe as a ward attendant in an undisclosed clinic.
A fake doctor or quack is a person that parades his/herself as medically qualified to administer treatment to sick patients or understands the pathology of diseases but not certified by the medical licensing board. They are abound world wide but more in developing countries like Nigeria.

Can u imagine? He probably went to med school but didn't pass, now his entire family thinks their son is a doctor.

Wasting innocent lives.

Doctor from hell!!! Patients should start asking for certificates from doctors before they get into the wrong hands.

It is part of the patients bill of rights introduced by Osinbajo in 2018. Patients now have rights to ask for doctors qualifications even before consultations.

Know your rights.

Know your rights.

That's remarkable but the Mustapha that was caught confessed to have forged his certificate. How can one now differentiate between an original and a forged MBBS certificate?

K

He should be sentence to Death

Reason I dey fear to go hospital, no be people wey dey see Dem blind go house for kaduna say Dem go dey investigate wetin cause am

Evil doctor

Awon forgers people wo

We are in trouble. It is part of the patients bill of rights to ask for certificate of doctor, but what if the certificate was forged as in this scenario? The issue is that we have to be intuitive in consulting doctors. Overseas, in some countries like India, MBBS holders just watch. It's only Ph.D. holders in medicine that are consultants and surgeons. You can't easily fake a doctoral in medicine. Every clinic supposed to display qualifications of doctors on board for public scrutiny and to point fingers if necessary.

Show the face of the killer doctor

The North are already seeing Buhari next level.

He was even employed by the government �, no background check or paper verification na WA oh

There's something I don't understand here. When reporting a crime and the suspect has been arrested, are we not supposed to see the mug shot of the suspect?

This doesn't look like a complete story for all it is worth.

Welcome to Nigeria

Where everything goes.

Imagine

Doctor Eliza. Wonders shall never end

46/500*100, 9.2% mortality. That's a low one for a quack

If only he had patience of going to medical college and getting appropriate certification he would have made a good doctor.
But No he chose the dubious way which has backfired noe he is heading to jail.

500 sugeries and only 46 daeths??
he not that bad we can still manage him.
afterall the country is being being run by mediocres
and mediocrity is the other of the day in the shit-hole;
so what's the difference??

What’s new in Naija?

Even once discovered a fake doctor at the Federal Ministry of Health in Abuja, who worked there for about 10 years and even became the branch NMA Chairman (see linked story below)

He performed successful surgeries after all, so why arrest him If medical doctors think it is okay to allow every quack to dispense drugs in the name of patent medicine dealership, then they should not worry when those patent medicine guys and hospital ward attendants also start practicing medicine and surgery and carrying out D&Cs and other operations.
Nigerian medical doctors think that the pharmacists are the only ones that are affected when selling drugs become a business anybody can do despite the dangers in that. They don't know that such system would affect even the medical doctors more! The immediate past minister of health was busy pushing for such with the intention of killing the pharmacy profession. The fool didn't know that allowing everybody to start selling drugs like he suggested would affect medical doctors more than even pharmacists. That was the caliber of person we appointed as minister of health.
Going by Adewole's and some other Nigerian insecure doctors' opinions, I think this man should be freed and even given a license to continue in his practice since he can perform surgeries successfully What goes around comes around!
