The fake doctor
Hehehe............. A
fake doctor plying his trade in the Ikeja area of Lagos state has been
arrested after his drug prescription had reportedly led to the death of
many.
A 42-year old fake doctor, John Anopuem has confessed that he gave
drugs to patients without prescription as such he could not say the
number of the patients that may have died in the process of using those
drugs.
PM Express reported that the suspect also confessed that he
administered drugs through guess work. Sometimes it worked and at other
times it was harmful to the patients which might result to death. The
Orlu Imo State-born was arrested and paraded by the State Commissioner
of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgar at Ikeja, Lagos.
It was gathered that the suspect was arrested at his store located
at Seriki Aro Street in Ikeja where the police also recovered some
suspicious drugs as exhibits. Some of the drugs recovered from the
suspects include Emzolin, Tuxils, Codeine and many others.
Parading the suspect with other criminals, Edgar said it was one of
the efforts the police was making to make the state crime free that led
to the arrest of the suspect.
Edgar thanked the public for partnering with the police on his new
police policy to combat crime in the state. He promised that the police
will continue to put up their best and work with the public so that the
criminal elements will have no hiding place in the society.
While speaking to journalists, the suspect admitted that he was
actually selling those drugs without giving normal prescription as
recommended.
“It was a mistake I made and I could not say it was not harmful
and I cannot confirm the number of the patients that may have died as a
result of wrong prescription of the drugs,” he said.
He said if he was given another opportunity, he would not do such
and hoped he will settle the matter with the police. But contrarily, CP
Edgar said the suspect will be charged to court after the conclusion of
investigation.
