Nigerian Police in Abuja has paraded
a 44 year old man for impersonating Dr George Daniel, a medical doctor working
at the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos.
Parading the suspect, the Force
Public Relations Officer, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu said that he used academic
credentials of Daniel to secure a job with the Federal Ministry of Health.
Ojukwu, who was represented by the
Deputy FPRO, CSP Abayomi Shogunle, said that the suspect had paraded himself as
a medical doctor in the health ministry for almost one decade, adding that the investigation
into the matter followed a petition from Festus Keyamo Chambers to the Police.
He explained that the perceived
unprofessional conduct and unwholesome behaviour by the suspect prompted the
petition against him to the federal civil service.
The actual medical doctor in Jos said
the accused stole his credentials during his weeding because he was his best
man, however the suspect said that he got the credentials from Daniel when he
visited him in his house in Karu to help him secure employment.
Ojukwu said that the suspect would soon be arraigned in court for impersonation, framing of incorrect document, breach of official trust, criminal intimation among others, contrary to the Penal Code.
