September 9, 2013 by vnti leave a comment A native doctor identified as Fidelis Chukwujindu
has been apprehended by the police for luring
over 5,000 students, extorting money from them
and conducting fake entrance examination for
the unsuspecting victims. Chukwujindu, was nabbed at the premises of his
non-existent College Hospital which has the sign post “University College Hospital Ogboko, Ideato, P.O.Box 1960, Orlu, Imo State. Also written on the
signpost, which was conspicuously mounted by
the roadside, is, “Present Courses: B.Sc, Nursing, Health Sciences, Education Humanities, Medical
LAB Sciences. Admissions Are Still Going On.
Govt. Approved. Call: 08064082750.” The operator of the illegal College attracted students by printing flyers which he distributes
to churches across the country, as most of the
students claimed they came to know about the Institution through their pastors. Chukwujindu claimed to have the permission of
the State Government and Federal Ministry of education to run his non-existent College hospital. He also claimed to be a product of the prestigious
Harvard University, America. “I won a Federal Government scholarship to study abroad, but was incapacitated by an
accident which disfigured one of my legs and I
was flown back to Nigeria where I later decided
to set up the College,” he said. Assisting the suspect, who claimed to be the vice
–chancellor of the University College hospital, was a middle aged woman later identified as Ngozi
Ayoha. The woman, who initially said she was
deaf and dumb, caused a stir when it was found
that she was the Dean of Faculty of Medicine of
the illegal College. Parading the suspect with his victims before
newsmen, the Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Muhammad Katsina, explained that one striking
thing about the strategy of the gang was that
they carefully selected the site opposite the Imo
State University, Ogboko, and adjacent to the Rochas Foundation College, Ogboko, to convince their victims of the genuineness of their business.
