Fake Doctor Worked In Suleja (Niger State) Hospital For 3 Years! by marabout(m): 6:12am On Jun 18, 2011
A fake doc worked undetected for 3 years in Suleja General Hospital (not some backstreet private hospital) for 3 years and was only cought after putting a plaster on a 10-year old child and pretended he had carried out an operation on him.
Thanks to the child mother's concern as child's condition got worse "post-op", the fake doc was found out.

Best of all is that he had been cought doing same in Nasarawa and handed over to the police. He did he get out so soon to have started working as a fake doc 3 years ago?  His punishment then couldn't have been tough enough to deter him.

After just watching BBC iplayer of a Nigerian immigration officer helping a foreigner obtain a Nigerian passport for N18,000 on "Breaking into Britain,  am shocked again.

Question is: just how many fake doctors are working in Nigerian government hospitals (privates don't even bear thinking about) and sening hundreds (if not thousands) to an early grave in Nigeria.
We know Abacha was a tyrant but under him, one Dr Colonel led an operation to close down many fake hospitals.
GEJ do something. Some quacks might send your relations to the great beyond somewhere in Bayelsa.

A 40-year-old, Bamigboye Olusegun, was arrested by men of the Nigeria Police in Niger State for operating as a doctor for three years. [/b] Nemesis caught up with the suspect, who performed fake surgery on a 10-year old boy at the Suleja General Hospital last weekend.
According to investigations, the suspect collected N10,000 from the mother of the patient, before performing the fake surgery: He took the boy into the theatre and placed plaster over a part of the body without actually performing any operation.
When the boy's condition got worse, the mother returned to the hospital where she made a complaint to the chief medical director who removed the plaster only to find that no operation took place on the boy.
The development, according to the findings, excited suspicion leading to the medical certificate of the 'doctor' being questioned.
Unknown to Olusegun, his academic records were sent to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria where it was found out that he (Bamigboye ) had been using the certificate of a director, Malaria Control Centre, Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, Dr Segun Oyeniyi.
It was learnt that it was the second time that Olusegun would be apprehended for faking as a medical doctor. He was first arrested in Nassarawa State about five years ago when he was unmasked and handed over to the police for prosecution.
Officials of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria who released the crime record of the suspect were at a loss as to how he escaped the long arms of the law after his criminal activity was confirmed.
Bamigboye, a graduate of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, University of Jos, Plateau State, who confirmed that he is fake, said he bought the certificate at N5,000 from one Baba Abolaji, a messenger at the University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state. He said he had to fake as a medical doctor because "I have passion for the profession."
The father of 3 was on N160,000 monthly salary before he was arrested.
Niger State police commissioner, Mr Michael Zuokumor, who confirmed the story, said the fake doctor would be charged to court soon.
