Landlord Reports Fake Gynaecologist Tenant to Police for Running in-House Termination Clinic

A fake doctor Opeyemi was reported to Police by his landlord for allegedly performing abortions out of his home in Lagos.

Although the 43-year-old man has admitted to buying fake certificates to show he’s a Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) certified doctor, the former medical student claims he never performed abortions in his home, it was only a clinic.

On His Family Life – His Wife was once a “Patient” of His and is Pleading for his Release
“I married my wife about five years ago. She thought I was a certified doctor. She actually came to me for treatment in the Ketu area and that was how we met. We have a child.”

Punch states, the suspect’s wife, Olawumi, pleaded that her husband should be released as he had realised his mistake, and would never venture into such again.

On the Fake Certificates
“I forged them because I dropped out of the university. I was actually studying Medicine. However, I dropped out in the 500 level due to financial reasons.

“I bought the certificates from Kolawole in Ibadan. That was three years ago. I bought them from him for N100,000. He printed the seven certificates.

“I do not know where he stays. We did not meet in any specific location. We usually met at fast food joints or any agreed place. For instance, it was at Agodi Gate area that I gave him the money and got the certificates. I decided to use another name on the certificates.

“I forged them because I dropped out of the university. I was actually studying Medicine. However, I dropped out in the 500 level due to financial reasons.

On the Home Practice
“It is not true that I brought women to treat at home. The truth of the matter is that I have a laboratory and the women came there. I usually did tests for them and by the time the test results were out, I would ask them to visit a hospital for treatment.”
