Fake LUTH Doctor Nabbed

A man, who claimed to be Dr Opeyemi Adesina, and parading himself as a consultant gynaecologist with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, was on Tuesday arrested by the Alakara Police Division on Alowolodu Street in the Alapere, Ketu area of Lagos State. The fake doctor, confessed to have paid N100, 000 to buy the seven forged certificates he used. It was learnt that Adesina was arrested after his landlord, identified only as Akorede, wrote a “save-my-soul” petition to the management of LUTH some weeks ago, alleging that Adesina brought home female patients to treat in his house and did abortions for them, among other unwholesome practices which could implicate him (the landlord). Akorede had further explained in the letter that when he confronted Adesina, the doctor allegedly claimed to be a consultant gynaecologist with LUTH, adding that he (Adesina) brought the referral cases from the hospital to his house so that he could have time to attend to them.
