The Department of State Services, DSS, has sealed off a clinic in Ungwan Rogo community in Jos North local government area of Plateau State.
The development was as a result of an allegation of quackery and reported death of a patient who received treatment at the clinic.
According to report, the woman died in the clinic last week after a surgery supposedly performed by one Mr. Lukman Abdul.
The incident sparked reactions, with many attributing the death to the surgery, raising concern about his medical speciality.
Meanwhile, Abdul denied the accusation, stressing that the surgery did not lead to her death.
A community member, Sadis Muhammad Albasu, who shared his account of the situation said, “The primary reason for sealing the hospital is the alleged quackery activities at the clinic, which came to light after a woman’s death following a surgical procedure there.
”The issue is that Mr. Lukman is not a qualified medical doctor; in fact, he is not a doctor at all, and therefore lacks the necessary qualifications to perform surgical procedures.”
The community leader further stated “A lot of people are complaining and that was why the matter was reported to the state ministry of health for necessary actions. He is not a doctor. He is currently schooling but he has been carrying out surgery on people in the community”.
