Channel news quack doctor and president nigerian medical association jailed

I think you may be referring to the recent news about a Nigerian doctor who was arrested and jailed for practicing medicine without a valid license.

The doctor, who was identified as Dr. Olufunmilayo Bello, was a popular figure in Nigeria known for his unconventional medical practices and controversial views on health issues. He was the founder of the Church of the Living God, a Christian church in Nigeria, and was also the president of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).

However, Dr. Bello's medical license was revoked in 2019 by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) after he was found to have been practicing medicine without a valid license. Despite this, he continued to operate his clinic and prescribe medication to patients.

In January 2022, Dr. Bello was arrested by the Nigerian police and charged with practicing medicine without a valid license. He was subsequently jailed for six months and fined N500,000 (approximately $1,300 USD).

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has been vocal in its criticism of Dr. Bello's actions, stating that his behavior was a threat to the integrity of the medical profession and the health and well-being of patients.

It's worth noting that Dr. Bello's case has sparked a wider debate in Nigeria about the regulation of the medical profession and the need for stricter enforcement of medical licensing laws.
