“A fake medical doctor who parades himself as an ophthalmologist has been arrested for allegedly administering a mixture of unapproved substances to hundreds of people in Ikot Akpan Itam, Ikot Abasi Itam, and Nung Ukot Itam in Itu LGA, with N500 only as charge per person.

“On Thursday, August 14, 2025, at approximately 12:05pm, Operatives of the Command received a tip from a concerned citizen regarding a man who was reportedly treating eye defects with unapproved substances. The suspect, identified as Gabriel Gideon from Nsit Ubium, was apprehended.

“Gideon confessed to not being a qualified ophthalmologist. He allegedly assembled over 300 people in each village, charging them N500 to administer a concoction of olive oil, juice, and water as a cure for various eye conditions.
