The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, on Thursday, said it has apprehended a fake doctor for allegedly delivering a pregnant woman of a baby which led to her death.
It was learnt that the fake doctor, Oladiti Saheed, 32, only possessed a secondary school certificate with which he operated a clinic, Oloruntoyin Clinic in Ororuwa town, Boripe local government area of the state for over six years.
The spokesperson of NSCDC in Osun, Kehinde Adeleke, added that the suspect was also training some youths under him after charging them N5000.
