Police Arrest Fake Doctor Operating Illegally in Bayelsa
Officers from Zone 16 of the Nigeria Police Force have apprehended Doubara Esamasuode, a man posing as a medical doctor without proper licensure, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The arrest was confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday by the Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer, Emonena Gunn.
The statement highlighted the police’s firm dedication to upholding legal standards and safeguarding public safety.
Gunn emphasized that the swift arrest of the fake doctor is part of the police force’s broader efforts to rid the state of unqualified individuals posing a threat to the health and safety of the community.
The suspect had been practicing medicine without the necessary qualifications or a valid license, putting unsuspecting patients at risk.
The police spokesperson also noted that the arrest serves as a stern warning to those engaging in illegal medical practices, reaffirming the police’s commitment to protecting citizens from fraudulent activities.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the extent of Esamasuode’s illegal activities, with a focus on determining how long he had been operating and whether there were any victims who suffered harm under his care.
Gunn concluded by urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious medical practitioners or healthcare providers, stressing the importance of consulting only certified professionals for medical treatment.
The police have assured the public that they will continue their efforts to crack down on fraudulent activities and uphold the law to maintain public safety.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
