The Anti-quackery Committee of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) in Rivers State, on Friday arrested a fake medical doctor identified as Mr Echi Igbo Michael.
The committee, led by the NMA chairman in the state, Dr Ebbi Robinson, said the fake medical doctor was arrested when he appeared for interview for the post of medical officer at Port Harcourt Military Hospital.
It alleged that Echi, a graduate of Banking and Finance from the Cross River State University of Science and Technology (CRUTECH), has been parading himself and practicing as a medical doctor in the state for the past two years.

The association, in a statement signed by its state secretary, Dr Hope Avundaa, said a tip-off on the fake medical doctor’s name came to light after he applied for NMA identity card.
The statement added that Echi presented falsified documents, which included a fake MBBS certificate from University of Port Harcourt (2017), a fake MDCN full registration certificate (2023).

It said the fake medical doctor, who was apprehended after a period of active surveillance on him, had paraded himself as a staff of the Military Hospital, Port Harcourt, during his application for the association’s ID Card.
The statement, which said the culprit would be prosecuted, thanked the authorities of military hospital for their cooperation.
