The hands of law enforcement officials have gotten hold of a fake doctor, identified as Andrew Godwin who was arrested by the Joint Taskforce Base 14 Boi, Bogoro LGA of Bauchi State.
The self-acclaimed Medical Doctor who is said to be a native of Nasarawa state was arrested on Sunday for carrying out an unsuccessful surgery, which led to the death of a man identified as Joshua Haruna aged 45 years old, a resident of Gambar Lere in the LGA.
According to reports gathered from the scene, there is every indication that the suspect has been living in Gambar Sabon Layi in Tafawa Balewa for a few years now where he has been carrying out his illegal business on unsuspecting members of the public.
To make matters worse, Andrew Godwin doesn’t just operate as a quack doctor alone but also doubles as a medical chemist despite the fact that he has not acquired any medical certificate or approval from the relevant authorities to enable him practice .
Following the unfortunate incident that led to his arrest, he was said to have cut open the stomach of his patient and was left like that till the following day.
It was reported that itwasn’t his first, as he had also performed other unsuccessful surgeries on many people before now, who later died as a result of the complications from his unprofessional actions.
The JTF officer who arrested him stated that they have arrested the fake health worker and handed him over to the Police in the Bogoro Division for further investigations.
The case has since been transferred to Tafawa Balewa Police Station because Gambar Sabon Layi is in Tafawa Balewa LGA while Gambar Lere is located in Bogoro LGA.
The deceased was until his death the former ward Chairman of APC, Boi C ward in Bogoro LGA and Campaign Coordinator of Sen. Lawal Yahaya Gumau.
