Yobe govt lauds security for arresting illegal clinic proprietor

Dr Muhammad Gana, Yobe Commissioner for  Health, has lauded  security operatives for  quick response in arresting one Mr Eseh Francis, a proprietor of an illegal clinic and maternity centre in the state.

Gana gave  the commendation on Wednesday, after  receiving report of  the state’s Health Inspectorate Team in Damaturu.

He also applauded  efforts of the village Head of Buduwa, Jakusko Local Government and the Primary Health Care Centre staff  for promptly reporting the illegal facility in the community.

Dr Garba Fika,  Director, Medical Services and Chairman of the inspection team, said while inspecting the facility, ‘Gaskiya Clinic and Maternity,’  that  it  was found to be far below standards and had no approval to operate in any capacity.

“The proprietor was interviewed in the presence of the village head, director,  primary health care and the inspectorate team. He was found to be unfit to operate a clinic and maternity centre.

“The accused, who claimed to have a Diploma in Community Health, was handed over to the police for prosecution,” Fika said.
