Police nabs quack “doctor” who confesses to having killed many patients

It was believed that the suspect was arrested at his store located at Seriki Aro Street, Ikeja following a tip-off to the police. Anopuem is accused of administering fake drugs to people, even though he has neither training nor qualifications to do so. The suspect says he usually hazards a guess while prescribing medicine, and that many people might have died from using his prescription.

“It was a mistake I made and I could not say it was not harmful and I cannot confirm the number of the patients that may have died as a result of wrong prescription of the drugs. If given another opportunity, I would not do such,” he reportedly pleaded to the police.

Medicines recovered from the alleged quack medical practitioner included Emzolin, Tuxils, Codeine and many others. Mr Imohimi Edgar, Lagos State Commissioner of Police reiterated that this was one of the efforts by the police to eliminate crime in the state. “I thank the public for partnering with the police on the new police policy to combat crime in the state. We promise that the police will continue to put up their best and work with the public so that the criminal elements will have no hiding place in the society,”? he said. According to Edgar, the suspect will be charged to court after the investigation result.
