Weeks of several investigations by ONUA NEWS’ OHIM in collaboration with the Ghana Police have exposed a fake doctor in the Volta Region.

The man believed to be in his 40s has allegedly performed a number of illegal abortions and surgeries that have left his victims with unbearably deadly complications.

Checks revealed that he had been operating in a town called Mafi Deveme where he was secretly based.

The fake Doctor has been operating with two names such as Innocent Katsriku or Godwin Kofi Katsriku.

He is currently on the run upon a tip-off by some village folks in the town he was operating.

He is believed to be hiding in the neighbouring country Togo.

The information available shows that he has performed illegal operations for some years now. He has defrauded and intimidated a number of his victims.

A source shared some of his canning tactics.

“He said he is a professional medical doctor as well as a herbalist. He usually works in his room and also sometimes goes to his victim’s rooms and homes to operate them.

Onua investigators led by Ohim took it upon themselves to dig him down. Lo and behold, it turned out from the investigations that he is a fake medical doctor.

More to this, the Mafi- Kumasi Sasekpe Chief (TOGBE BOAPO IV) and his elders also confirmed that indeed the man was a serial fraudster from the first day he came to the palace.

“As the chief, I asked him to bring his licence because he will have his own hospital and not work in someone’s hospital,” the chief said.

He added “He told me he only performs operations in people’s homes.

This fraudster told me he also performs abortions too, but he never returned to the palace again till now that all these evidences came out.”

A Headman and some of his victims confirmed his alleged involvement in this medical fraud.

The investigators revealed that he tried hiding his picture from them but they also retrieved his picture from his WhatsApp DP.

“We also have in our possession some audio recordings with his voice captured parading and claiming to be a trained medical doctor. I recall one particular day we engaged him and after I realised he has been tipped off, he attempted to hide his true identity.

He told us that he was in town and on his way going to Kumasi, and also from his talking we realise he has some medical doctors that helped him to get some necessary documents,” the investigators revealed.

The journalist added that they finally consulted the Member of Parliament (MP) for Central Tongu Constituency and also the District Commander to complain to them and after they promised to arrest him with their own strategic so therefore, they handed everything to them and left back to Media General.

The question remains how is the Ghana Medical Association going to handle this issue? This is because the so-called medical doctor is still working while on the run.
