An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, sitting in Ibadan, on Wednesday, ordered the remand in a correctional facility of a 55-year-old fake doctor, Moyosore Johnson, for allegedly causing the death of a woman.
Johnson, whose address was not provided, was arraigned on a four-count charge bothering conspiracy and accelerating cause of death.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Segun Adegboye told the court that the defendant committed the offenses on July 5, 2024, at about 10.00 a.m., at Apata Igbala Hospital Iseyin, Oyo State.
Adegboye alleged that the defendant unlawfully accelerated the cause of the death of one Badirat Adebayo, 26, by carrying out surgery on her.
He alleged that the defendant removed Adebayo’s womb, which led to her death.
According to the prosecutor, the offenses contravene Sections 516 and 319 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
Magistrate Kausarat Ayofe did not take the plea of the defendant for lack of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice.
Ayofe adjourned the case until March 27, for mention.
