Police in Oyo State have arrested a man accused of posing as a fertility specialist and allegedly offering fraudulent medical treatment to unsuspecting members of the public.
The suspect was reportedly apprehended following complaints over his activities and claims to have the expertise to treat infertility.
According to the report, the man allegedly presented himself as a medical professional despite not having the required qualifications or authorisation to practise medicine.
The police are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding his activities and determine whether other people were involved in the alleged scheme.
The arrest comes amid growing concerns over unqualified individuals offering medical services, particularly fertility treatments, to vulnerable couples desperate to have children.
Fertility treatment is a sensitive area of healthcare, and medical experts have repeatedly warned members of the public to verify the credentials and professional registration of anyone offering such services.
The suspect remains in police custody as investigations continue.
