Fake doctor, nurse arraigned for causing death of patient

A self proclaimed nurse identified as Abdulkareem Shehu and a Doctor, Dr Farajimakin Olugbenga, were on Tuesday arraigned before an Ikeja High Court, Lagos for allegedly causing the death of their patient, one Eunice Omokhudu.

The medical practitioners, who both pleaded not guilty, were arraigned on a three count of involuntary manslaughter, gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life.

The prosecuting officer, M.T Adewoye, told the court that the incident occurred on June 5, 2016 at House No 14, William Akintunde Street, Abule Egba, Lagos.
According to the charge, Shehu illegally portrayed himself as medical doctor and operated in a clinic, Glorious Mercy Clinic, which was not duly registered.
It was further stated that Shehu admitted patients into his clinic and often times requested for his friend, Dr Olugbenga’s assistance in running tests and other medical checkups on admitted patients.
It was also learnt that Shehu admitted the deceased into his clinic where she died over an undisclosed ailment. And thereafter issued a false statement for the purpose of registration of death regarding the deceased.
However, the 2nd defendant, Olugbenga’s, who was alleged to be former medical doctor at the Lagos State teaching hospital, claimed in his statement that he was unaware that Shehu was not a doctor.
He stated that he didn’t know that Shehu was not a certified doctor but a nurse and that he only assisted him as a friend in the same profession.
The presiding judge, Justice Hakeem Oshodi, however, permitted the defendants to continue with the bail term which was granted them by a Magistrate Court, Lagos.
The matter was further adjourned till November 27 for trial.

Jinjiri gave the name of the deceased as Malama Hajara.
He said that the housewife committed the act on Monday around 6:00 p.m. in Yanmalam village, Miga town.
“On September 18, around 8:00 p.m., we received a report that one 22-year-old housewife, identified as Hajara, committed suicide by taking rat poison around 6 p.m., simply because her husband was planning to marry another wife.
“She was taken to General Hospital, Jahun, in Jahun Local Government Area where she died on the same day,” he said.
He added that the corpse of the deceased had been handed over to her family for burial.

Lawyer threatens to sue JAMB over refusal to upload candidates’ UTME results

AN Osogbo based legal practitioner, Mr Bolarinwa Abidoye, on Wednesday threatened to sue the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over alleged failure of the examination body to upload result of his ward and several others candidates that chose Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile Ife, as first choice.
Abidoye, who claimed he will institute litigation against the examination body as a parent, and on behalf of many other candidates of JAMB, whose results were not sent to their institutions, accused JAMB of alleged negligence.
While speaking to the Nigerian Tribune, in Osogbo, Abidoye, who maintained that JAMB admitted not uploading the result of his son in error, lamented that Abidoye Alfred Ajibade, his child, scored 237 and intend studying Law in Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU).
According to him, “to our surprise, JAMB has refused to upload result of my son. I later discovered several other candidates’ results are being held by JAMB for no reason. Registration for post UTME of OAU closes in another 24 hours and yet the result has not been uploaded to OAU website by JAMB.”
My son is depressed. In the course of struggling to get to the root of the matter, my wife, Mrs Abidoye went to JAMB office in Abuja to find out. Head of ICT of the exam body, Mr. Okoro was not on seat. The next officer to him, Mrs Usman was not on seat. One Mr Adewale who spoke to us, owned up to the error. He said it was a mistake on their part that the result was not uploaded”.
To our dismay, he said nothing may be done on the issue until Thursday (Today) when registration for post UTME for those that chose OAU would have ended.
“I also met the state officer of JAMB, one Mrs Alade. She initially claimed they have uploaded result of all OAU candidates. She later recanted. Alot of candidates that i met there could not just bear the trauma. You know they are kids. Many of them were crying and yet, no solution in sight. I am taking JAMB to court to demand a sum of N1billion onbehalf of all those that have suffered negative consequence of JAMB’s negligence,” Abioye remarked.
All efforts to reach officer in-charge of Osun JAMB office, proved futile as several calls to her mobile line did not go through.
