Abuja Doctor Arraigned Over Alleged IVF Fraud, Sale Of Couple’s Embryos by dominique(mod): 8:39am On Mar 14
The Nigeria Police on Wednesday arraigned an Abuja-based medical practitioner, Dr. John Onuwabhagbe Abebe and his facility, Joje Abebe Fertility Centre Limited over allegations of fraud, criminal conspiracy, unlawful disclosure of confidential medical records, and the alleged sale of a couple’s embryos.

Abebe, who is said to be a pastor at Living Faith Church Worldwide in Durumi, Abuja, was arraigned before Justice A. A. Fashola of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Jabi on a three-court charge, marked: CV/005/26 and filed in the name of the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

He pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him and a not guilty plea was also recorded for his facility by the judge.

After his plea was taken, prosecuting lawyer, Joseph Wada sought a date for the commencement of trial.

Defence lawyer, Marvin Omorogbe moved a bail application on behalf of Abebe, which was not opposed by Wada, following which Justice Fashola admitted him (Abebe) to bail at N5million with a surety in like sum.

I fear pastors more than bandits

I'll rather run to bandits for safety than run to any pastor.

You won't understand my experiences with these pastors, but it's fine

Lorddttt!! People doing crazy things all for the paper chase.

Very soon they'd begin to kpai people and sell their healthy hearts to the highest bidders.

Imagine when you can't trust your doctor with your life..

One of the main places of medical fraud in Nigeria is at IVF and fertility clinics.
But I will not judge this man, he has a right to defend himself. Frustrated patients who have spent tens of millions can suddenly see the doctor as their enemy number 1.

IVF clinics exploit young ladies for eggs, pay them 150k but collect millions from their clients.
There are many cases that don't require IVF but the clinics will recommend IVF so that they make money from them. Please do proper diagnosis before considering IVF. Also, investigate the success record of the clinic, not the ones they present to you.
That sector in medical practice in Nigeria truly needs regulation.

Are you aware that sperm and eggs in an IVF facility must be stored at sub-zero temperatures until needed and to do that effectively you must have electricity 24/7?

Do you have any idea how much it costs to run generators for 24 hours in Nigeria.

If you think the business is as lucrative as you think then you can as well go and set up your own sperm bank

Exactly. That's the same way that Lagos popular influencer's death was linked to a hospital recently, not knowing the hospital had earlier objected to the procedure due to the 2 bbl she had already done elsewhere before then.
After her insistence, they made her sign a consent form with 2 witnesses before she went under the knife which eventually took her life.
That hospital (name withheld ) can't be blamed for whatever that had happened cos proofs were there. I remember one Dr Olaleye who was wrongly accused of rape by his wife and mother inlaw out of bitterness. Dr Olaleye was later set free after winning the case. The wife wasnt feeling comfortable seeing the celebs around him, those he was using to promote his cancer-free campaign.

I'm not siding this Dr but people shouldn't castigate him yet.

Those IVF hospitals are really cashing out big, for me instead of splashing millions on what u aren't sure of it's success. Why not the man gets a 2nd wife or a lady who will bear the pregnancy and be paid off. Bcs most of fertility issues are always suffered by women

If you go to fertility clinic and they extract egg and sperm from a couple the standard legal agreement is that you are not the owner of the spare ones not used for you or your surrogate. There is embryo adoption for couples who can’t produce on their own. Unless the doctor didn’t involve the services of an experienced lawyer.

we don't know if he did any fraud yet, he's a professional doctor and a pastor which is more than enough reasons for him to not indulge in such.

He pleaded not guilty so is innocent until proven guilty.
