A senior official of the Federal
Ministry of Health, Martins Ugwu, who has been practising as a ‘medical
doctor’ for over nine years, has been arrested by the police upon
discovery that he stole the...
licence from his friend.
Ugwu, who is a Senior Medical Officer II
on Grade Level 13, was found to have impersonated his friend, Dr.
George Daniel, who is undergoing a residency training programme in Jos,
Plateau State.
He allegedly stole the licence from his
friend for whom he was best man during a wedding in 2006. They both hail
from Orukpa in the Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State.
It was learnt that Ugwu, who was due to be
promoted to an Assistant Director in the Nigerian Centre for Disease
Control, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Health, has been
working in the civil service since 2006 under the name, Dr. George
Davidson Daniel, until he was indicted by the Medical and Dental Council
of Nigeria as an impostor.
Ugwu who was arrested by the police last
Thursday, was, however, released a few hours later, fueling
speculations that the policemen might have been compromised.
Ugwu’s arrest was sequel to an
investigation by the MDCN, which registers all Nigerian doctors and
regulates their practice after investigations, the MDCN uncovered two
Dr. Daniels- the same name on two separate identity photographs.
