Ibrahim Mustapha, who was arrested today, June 20 by men and officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) for killing patients in the cause of his fake practice said: “yes, I forged the documents as stated by the DSS boss and also done both major and minor surgical operations, including caesarian section, altogether more than 500 surgeries without causing the death of any of my patients as claimed.”
DSS Director in Adamawa State, Bola Olori, who paraded the suspect, said that Ibrahim Mustapha was arrested for operating illegally as a PMO in Fufore Cottage hospital, Fufore local government area of Adamawa state.
He said that preliminary investigation revealed that Mustapha holds National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) certificate, an equivalent of Senior Secondary School certificate or High School.
The DSS Director said that the suspect perfected the illicit act in Gombe where he worked as a ward attendant in several clinics and that he was aided by a practicing doctor who gave him sample copies of his NECO results, MBBS of Bayero University Kano, NYSC Discharge certificate and Medical and Dental Council if Nigeria, annual registration license.
“The suspect subsequently gained employment into the Adamawa state Hospital Management Board in October 2015 as a doctor and rose to the post of PMO, serving at both the Cottage hospital Mayo-Belwa and Fufore.”
Mustapha ran out of luck when he attended visa interview as a potential medical team member for the 2019 hajj operations.
He was exposed by a man who knew him in Gombe as a ward attendant in an undisclosed clinic.
