The herdsman who is from Fufore Local Government in Adamawa state had a surgery conducted on him by a doctor in a private clinic in Yola. The doctor’s conduct has been described as unprofessional by a committee constituted by the ministry of health that investigated the incident, Vanguard reports.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, September 20, the Commissioner for Health in the state, Dr Fatima Atiku, said Governor Muhammadu Bindow has personally intervened in the matter.
