A fake medical doctor, Victor Moffat Akpan has been nabbed in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
Akpan is the owner of Luna Maternity & Surgery, a private hospital in Gwarimpa area of Abuja.
Investigations revealed the hospital was established 10 years ago where he offered surgeries and antenatal care.
The self-acclaimed surgeon reportedly used a forged practice licence – four years after MDCN refused to grant him licence to practice as a homeopath.
According to report, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, led the police to arrest the suspect who was said to have delivered a set of conjoined twins by Caesarean Section, CS, who later died at the National Hospital in 2013.
Confirming the report, Head of Inspectorate Unit, MDCN, Dr. Henry Okwuokenye, who said he had been investigating Akpan, said the council did not grant him a homeopathic practice licence because the school he claimed to have graduated from in Enugu was unapproved to train students in alternative medicine.
Okwuokenye disclosed that the suspect told police during questioning on Friday that in 2002, he paid N15, 000 to one Mike Nwagbara, an administrative official with the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu state, to get a forged MDCN practice certificate.
