Men of the Ebonyi state Police command have arrested a man simply identified as Nwosu for alleged forgery of medical certificate, which he used to gain an interim employment into the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
The accused was given an interim employment by the hospital early this year with a forged certificate, but luck ran against him when the hospital management decided to conduct a certificate verification exercise for all its employees.
The verification exercise led to the discovery that the MBBS certificate, which he claimed to have obtained was fake.
While confirming the arrest, Ebonyi State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Sylvester Igbo said the suspect, a former medical student of Ebonyi State University, EBSU, had confessed to the crime of presenting a fake MBBS certificate of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, (UNN) for the job.
“One Nwosu, a suspected fake medical doctor who was employed by Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki was handed over to personnel of Department of State Services, DSS by authorities of the hospital, when they discovered he presented a fake medical certificate with which he was given appointment. Later the department now transferred the suspect to us for further investigation.
