Kano Agency Arrests Fake Medical Doctor, Shuts Down Hospital

Kano, Nigeria - The Kano State Agency for the Control of AIDS (SACA) has arrested a fake medical doctor who was operating a hospital in the state. The agency also shut down the hospital, citing concerns over the safety and well-being of patients.

According to a statement issued by SACA, the fake doctor, whose name was given as Dr. Abdullahi Mohammed, was arrested during a raid on his hospital in the Kano metropolis. The agency said that Mohammed did not have a valid medical license and was not registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

SACA's Director-General, Dr. Baffa Hassan, said that the agency received a tip-off about the fake doctor's activities and decided to investigate. "We found out that the hospital was not registered with the state government and that the doctor was not qualified to practice medicine," Hassan said.

The agency also found that the hospital was not equipped with basic medical facilities and that patients were being treated in unhygienic conditions. "We cannot allow such a situation to continue, especially in a state like Kano where healthcare is a major concern," Hassan said.

Mohammed was arrested and taken into custody, while the hospital was shut down pending further investigation. The agency has also warned other fake medical practitioners in the state to desist from their activities or face the consequences.

This is not the first time that SACA has cracked down on fake medical practitioners in the state. In recent years, the agency has arrested several individuals who were found to be operating fake hospitals and clinics.

The agency has also launched a campaign to educate the public about the dangers of seeking medical care from unqualified practitioners. "We want to educate the public about the importance of seeking medical care from qualified professionals," Hassan said. "We also want to ensure that patients are not put at risk by fake medical practitioners."

SACA has called on the public to report any suspected cases of fake medical practitioners to the agency.
