Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested a notorious quack medical Doctor, Isa Usman, in connection with the death of a patient, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
The ugly incident occurred in Nasarawa, Keana Local Government Area.
Usman, a native of Gombe State, was apprehended in a community called Iyayi after it was reported that his activities led to the death of Zaki Yaka Ajohol.
According to findings, Usman holds only a First School Leaving Certificate but lied to have graduated from medical school on Gombe State.
However, his educational background, which is limited to primary school, raises serious concerns about his qualifications.
According to DSP Ramhan Nansel, the spokesperson for the command, Usman admitted to administering procaine injections to Ajohol over a three-day period, ostensibly to treat typhoid.
On the fourth day, Usman administered another dose, after which the patient lost consciousness and was immediately rushed to the primary health care center at Akeleku. Unfortunately, the patient was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Authorities have seized various drugs and medical equipment from Usman as evidence.
Commissioner of Police Umar Shehu Nadada has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Lafia for further investigation and prosecution.
