An impostor, Obiako Chukwuemeka, who pretended to be a medical doctor working with the United Nations as a humanitarian help at the National Hospital in Abuja, was discovered and arrested.
Chukwuemeka, whose origins and age are unknown, has been held until his arraignment, according to a reliable source within the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.
“The National Hospital Abuja turned over a phoney doctor, one Obiako Chukwuemeka, who disguised himself as a UN doctor on humanitarian aid, to the police at Central Police Station on Thursday,” the source added.
“He is currently in our custody, and will soon be charged to court.”
This comes about a week after the FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello, accused visitors from neighbouring states, traders, and beggars of being behind the security breaches witnessed in Abuja, adding that his administration would send them packing.

“The Security agencies in the FCT have up their game. People who have no business being here, are being sent away. Some of them come under different guises such as begging, street trading, among others. They usually come from neighbouring states and are causing security breaches here. That is why we have decided to send them out.” Bello said in a statement on Friday, August 26, 2022.
The FCT Police Commissioner, Sunday Babaji, has also said the G-7 Joint Security Operation that was being revived had received the support of sister security agencies as well as the Commissioners of Police in the member-states, who had all agreed on the need to collectively flush-out these criminals.
He revealed that the security agencies have gathered useful and actionable intelligence and would soon go after all criminals within its jurisdiction.
