The 47-year-old unnamed doctor reportedly confessed to drugging some of
his patients before having sex with them.
The suspect, a consultant gynecologist at the Life Point Medical Centre,
Utako, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja has been arrested for
allegedly drugging and raping some of his female patients in Abuja.
Confirming the incident to newsmen on Monday, the FCT Commissioner of
Police, CP, Muhammad Mustafa said police operatives attached to the
Command swung into action and arrested the suspect on August 4.
The CP noted that the officers acted on report of the unethical conduct
of the consultant gynecologist who was reported to have been in the
habit of taking undue advantage of his female patients who come to him
for treatment or consultation in his office and other locations.
Mustafa said, “Investigations revealed that the suspect uses drugs to
induce his victims in order to have intercourse with them, therefore
corroborating the allegations brought up against him.
The suspect, in his statement, confessed to have had sexual affair with
some of his female patients who come to him for treatment or
consultation in his office and other locations.
He is presently in prison. He has to be stripped of his license and as
part of our investigation.
We have written to Nigeria Medical and Dental Council, NMDC and he has
been arraigned in court,” the CP said, adding that some lawyers are
trying to shield the accused from conviction.
According to him, “I learnt that four Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN,
are trying to take him away from the prison but we are going to do our
very best to gain conviction because it is a very serious case of
somebody abusing the ethics of his profession.
Mustafa also seized the opportunity to tell members of the public to
always be vigilant and always report such cases as this will act as a
deterrent to other stop such practice.
