NMA Arrests
Fake Doctor.
Nigerian Medical Association in Rivers State said it has
arrested one Echi Michael, who has been posing and practising as a medical
doctor in the state for over two years.
NMA, in a statement signed by the State Secretary, Dr
Hope Avundaa, in Port Harcourt on Saturday, said Michael, a graduate of Banking
and Finance from the Cross River State University of Technology, was nabbed by
its anti-quackery committee.
Avundaa said the suspect fraudulently applied for the NMA
Rivers State Identity Card with fake documents, including a fake MBBS
Certificate from the University of Port Harcourt in 2017, and a fake MDCN full
registration certificate in 2023 which were found to be falsified.
He added that Michael was arrested on Friday after a
period of active surveillance when he appeared for an interview for the post of
Medical Officer at Port Harcourt Military Hospital, a place he has paraded
himself as a staff member during his application for the NMA ID Card.
