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.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
