Mustapha, who served as Principal Medical Director of Fufore Cottage Hospital in Adamawa state, was paraded by Nigeria’s Department
of State Services (DSS), on Friday June 21 over allegations of practising with forged certificates.
DSS director in Adamawa state, Bola Olori, said investigations revealed that Mustapha did not study medicine but holds the National
Board of Technical Education (NBTE) certificate. He also said Mr Mustapha perfected the illegal act of impersonation as a Doctor in
Gombe where he worked as a ward attendant in several clinics, after being aided by a practicing doctor.
In a chat with journalists during his parade, Mustapha admitted to conducting several surgeries but denied that any patients died.
He said “I did many surgeries, more than 500, which were very successful. Equally, I am proud that I know what I’m doing and as
far as surgery is concerned, I don’t have any death”
