ABEOKUTA—The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Julius Afolabi, who allegedly operates an illegal clinic and maternity home in Abule-Iroko, Ota in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government Area of the state, for defrauding a woman of N200,000 meant for fibroid treatment.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect was arrested following a complaint by one of his victims, one Funmi Adelaja, at Sango Police Station.

Oyeyemi said the suspect collected N200,000 from Adelaja to treat her fibroid, which he could not do.

He said: “It was discovered that the self-acclaimed doctor and medical Director of Adeolu Afolabi Clinic and Maternity Home has never gone through any formal training that can qualify him to operate such outfit.”

Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, said the state the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered a full investigation into the case with the view of charging the culprit to court on conclusion of the investigation.
