PUNCH Metro learnt that Akpan,
who had been running a private hospital for 10 years, allegedly operated
with forged and stolen certificates.
As a quack doctor, he was said to have performed caesarean sections, removed fibroids and delivered pregnant women of babies.
His arrest came exactly one year after
the arrest of a senior medical officer with the Federal Ministry of
Health, Martins Ugwu, by the police for practising as a medical doctor
with stolen certificates for over nine years.
PUNCH Metro learnt on Tuesday that Akpan’s arrest was sequel to investigations by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.
It was gathered that the suspect was the
owner of Luna Maternity and Surgery Hospital, an outfit he opened in
2006 using a forged licence – four years after the MDCN refused to
grant him licence to practice as a homeopath.http://www.punchng.com/abuja-quack-doctor-arrested-after-10-years-practice/
