The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 35-year-old man for allegedly impersonating a medical doctor in Kotangora, sending a strong warning to those who think they can play with the health and lives of unsuspecting Nigerians.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the arrest, revealing that the suspect had been operating in the area while posing as a qualified medical professional.
Another Quack Exposed
This arrest is yet another reminder of the dangerous reality many Nigerians face — walking into a clinic, trusting someone with their life, only to later discover that the so-called “doctor” has no business holding a stethoscope. From Lagos to Kaduna, from Enugu to Niger State, the menace of fake medical practitioners continues to threaten public health across the country.
Protect Yourself — Know Who Is Treating You
As Nigerians, we must stay vigilant. Before allowing anyone to treat you or your loved ones, consider these simple steps:
– Verify credentials with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN)
– Ask questions — a real doctor won’t be offended
– Report suspicious practitioners to the nearest police station or health authority
The Niger State Police Command deserves commendation for this arrest. Let this serve as a warning to every quack out there — your days are numbered.
