Biafrans and crime are like buhari and cluelessness,crime is in their DNA.

A Nigerian medical doctor, Patrick Nwaokwu, has been arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for his involvement in multimillion-dollar healthcare fraud.

50-year-old Nwaokwu was arrested on July 9, barely 24 hours after the United States issued a warrant of arrest on July 8.

According to Peoples Gazette, the medical doctor alongside his associates, Musa Bangura and Johannah Napoleon face charges for “conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud; conspiracy to commit false statements relating to health care matters, and false statements relating to health care matters.”

The suspects are accused of selling fraudulent transcripts and diplomas to nurses, listing courses that unqualified individuals purportedly took as well as their grades. The nurses were then subsequently employed at various healthcare facilities in Maryland.

The court document revealed that the FBI in 2019 received information that Messrs Nwaokwu and Bangura created illegal transcripts and certificates through a privately-owned nursing school (Nursing School 1) in northern Virginia.

“From August 8, 2008, to June 30, 2013, Nursing School 1 was a nursing school in Virginia until it was shut down for violating certain state regulations by the Virginia Board.

“After that time, Nwaokwu and Bangura continued to illegitimately operate Nursing School 1 as a place where people could go to simply purchase illegitimate LPN transcripts and certifications that are backdated to June 30, 2013,” the 35-page document stated.

It said that “each transcript purports that the student completed 1,700 hours of nursing education before graduating from Nursing School 1.”

The document also detailed that the Nursing School 1 students paid between $6,000 and $18,000 for the transcripts and certificates.

In 2020, two separate FBI undercover operations obtained the fraudulent degrees and approximately 175 of Nwaokwu’s nursing graduates have applied to the Maryland Board of Nursing.


Igbo people and crime.

He don hear am.

If u r clean

Envy no one

Never be seen as defending a criminal. God forbid bad thing.

Many times doctors get caught in Medicaid and Britain National Health for over billings by their book keepers.

By the time the book keepers take their share, the amount left for the doctors is not worth the punishment.

How for do? Warn your book keeper or report anything that looks suspicious to regulators as mistake before you are caught.

Otherwise work long hours to make more money. Those abroad will not tell you this. It's not that rosy as painted especially for young doctors just coming out of school.

Doctor!!!!

sad

Who is this that want to dirty the already tarnished image of the country in such professional?

The image of this country has been tarnished almost beyond redemption.
