He has been charged with multiple offenses, including the illegal practice of medicine, manslaughter, and endangering the lives of others.

In response to the incident, the Nigerian Medical Association has issued a statement condemning the actions of the fake doctor and emphasizing the importance of seeking medical care from licensed professionals.

The organization has also pledged to work with the government to crack down on unlicensed medical practitioners and improve access to safe and legal healthcare services.
