Ex-Governor El-Rufai’s Doctor Charged Over Alleged Fake Medical Report
Dr Bello Abubakar, personal physician to former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, has been referred to the Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) and arraigned by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC). The anti-graft agency confirmed a medical report presented to secure El-Rufai’s court-approved visit was fake after verification by several doctors at home and abroad. ICPC then filed a four-count charge against Abubakar, accusing him of issuing false information and abusing his position. Counts include misleading a public officer, conferring unfair advantage, fabricating a joint intent to deceive, and dishonestly making a document with false hospital authority. The National Hospital’s Chief Medical Director is set to testify that the report was neither authorised nor based on a proper medical examination. Abubakar remains attached to the National Hospital, Abuja, as Chief Consultant Radiation Oncologist on contract pending the outcome of disciplinary and legal proceedings.
