A fake medical doctor has been arrested by the Ondo police command after he carried out a failed Caesarean surgery on a woman who continued to bleed many days after.

Olelekan Rabiu, 31, is a Community Health Extension worker who promotes himself as a medical doctor and Chief Medical Doctor (CMD) of Iremide Private Hospital, Orita Ojo in Odigbo Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

Mr Rabiu and three others were paraded by the state police commissioner Oyediran Oyeyemi on Friday in Akure.

Mr Oyeyemi said that the suspect was on December 20 arrested by a team of Special Intervention Squad when a report of unprofessionalism was reported against him.

The CP said that the suspect carried out a Caesarean surgery on a pregnant woman (name withheld) who was later rushed to Mother and Child Hospital due to excessive bleeding from her private part.

“It was discovered that the self-acclaimed doctor stitched the womb and the urinary tract together.

“During investigation, it was discovered that the suspect is not a Medical Doctor, but attended School of Health Technology, Ijebu-Ode, where he studied as a Community Health Extension Worker.

“And he has been deceiving the people with being a Medical Doctor,” he said.
