The hospital was a beehive of activities for couples seeking the fruit of the womb until last Thursday when it was sealed off by a team of medical personnel from Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria MDCN, and Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency, HEFAMAA.

Vanguard Metro, VM,  learnt that until its closure, the hospital met some basic requirements of a private hospital. The only snag was that it was run by a man alleged to be a quack.

The proprietor identified as Dr Sunday J. Bassey, an indigene of Cross River State, claimed that he had on his payroll, three midwives, a matron, a radiologist and other staff who rendered medical services to both in and out-patients.

VM was told that some staff of the hospital claimed that their boss works with the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LUTH. According to them, he only comes to work in the clinic after closing officially at LUTH.

VM was also told Sunday, 37, claimed to have graduated from the University of Calabar in Cross River State before proceeding for further studies in India.
