The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has released the outcome of its investigation into the practice of medicine by a suspected fake doctor, Noah Kekere.
The outcome of the investigation was released on Monday by the Plateau State chapter of the NMA.
The Association disowned Kekere, who was recently arrested after being accused of harvesting a woman’s kidney during a surgery.
The NMA’s disclaimer is contained in a statement jointly issued in Jos by Dr Bapigaan Audu and Dr Istifanus Bako, its Chairman and Public Relations Officer (PRO), respectively.
Kekere allegedly claimed to be a medical doctor. However, The NMA stated that its investigation of the allegation showed that Kekere is not a medical doctor.
“This is to inform the public and all concerned that Mr Noah Kekere, who is currently being investigated over allegations of harvesting vital organs, is not a medical doctor.
“Diligent investigation by the association has revealed that he is a quack, pretending to be a doctor.
“Further information will be made available, following the conclusion of the investigation initiated by the NMA and Nigerian Police Force,” the association added.
The association urged its members and Nigerians in general to remain calm, adding that it is on top of the matter.
The NMA assured that it is assisting the police to get to the root of the matter.
Kekere was arrested by the police after a businessman, Alhaji Kamal, accused him of removing one of his wife’s kidneys during a surgery in 2018.
Kamal said his wife Kehinde had been suffering from chronic stomach pain for the past five years, and was rushed to Kekere’s clinic located in the Nasarawa Gwom community of Jos North Local Government Area.
According to him, Kekere carried out a medical diagnosis on his wife and concluded that she had ruptured appendicitis and needed urgent surgery.
