Delivering the judgement Monday, Justice Nathan said Ibrahim Mustapha practised medicine for several years under false pretences, making innocent patients entrust their lives to his uncertified practice.
Ibrahim Mustapha worked under the Adamawa State Government with a medical degree he took from a licensed medical doctor.
Ibrahim had confessed to forging MBBS credentials at the time but denied insinuation that he killed people in the course of his illegal medical practice.
He rose in the civil service to become a principal medical officer of Cottage Hospital, Fufore in Fufore LGA, until he was arrested by the Department of State Services in June this year.
Parading the fake doctor in Yola at the time, the DSS director in the state, Bola Olori, had said a preliminary investigation revealed that Mustapha held National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) certificate, an equivalent of Senior Secondary School certificate.
