Fake Doctor Arrested In Nasarawa For Patient’s Death

Operatives from the Nasarawa State Police Command, stationed at the Kadarko Division, have apprehended Isa Usman, an alleged quack medical doctor. The arrest took place on Wednesday in Iyayi Village, Kadarko district, Keana Local Government Area (LGA).

Usman is accused of administering a Procaine Injection to one Zaki Yaka Ajohol, which reportedly resulted in the patient’s death. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, confirmed the incident in a statement issued on Wednesday.

Initial investigations revealed that Usman, who holds only a primary school leaving certificate, is originally from Pindi village, Akko LGA, Gombe State. He claimed to have received training at Asibitin Yusuf in Agyaragu, Obi LGA of Nasarawa State.

Usman admitted to administering Procaine injections over a period of three days to treat typhoid. However, on the fourth day, the same dose led to Ajohol losing consciousness and subsequently being rushed to the primary health care center at Akeleku, where he was pronounced dead. Several medical implements and drugs were recovered from Usman and are now being used as evidence.

The 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 legal proceedings.
