From Bode Durojaiye, Oyo.
The last may not have been heard about a fake gynecologist recently arrested by the Police in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The impostor, who paraded herself as Dr. Dammy Ojo, and whose name is actually Miss Damilola Ojo, was reported to have defrauded unsuspecting residents of over N23 million naira.
She confessed to the Police that she began her medical and health career, as a nurse, with an Oyo-based private health institution, Goodswills Hospital.
But at a media briefing in Oyo town, Ojo’s confession was
disclaimed and described as a “wicked lie”.
Proprietor of Goodwill Child Welfare Clinic and Maternity Centre, located at Mabolaje area in the ancient town, Raheem Olaniyi, said contrary to claim by Ojo, the establishment did not, at anytime, appoint anybody bearing the name Dr. Dammy Ojo to work in its facility in Oyo or any other place at all.
According to him, “ In January 2013, one Miss Damilola Ojo was employed as a ward maid having re-presented to the management to have completed a nursing programme at the School of Nursing, Saki. Having regards to the document evidencing her representation, the management
of the health institution could not doubt the integrity of the Nursing School.”
Raheem disclosed that when Miss Ojo served for only one month, her service was terminated on Friday, February 15th, 2013.
“’Our health institution, which was duly registered with the state Ministry of Health, bears the name Goodwill Child Welfare Clinic and Maternity Centre, and not Goodswills Hospital, as claimed by the criminal suspect. The management neither bears nor deals with the said
Miss Ojo until the recent publication in a national daily. We are known to law and remains dedicated to effective health care delivery”, Raheem asserted.
