The doctor identified as Dr. Kalu Nwachukwu, a gynaecologist in
Abuja is currently in police
custody.
According to DailyTrust, the 47-year-old man was nabbed after
female patients complained about the way he is alleged to have acted
with them.
They alleged that he drugged, then had intercourse with them.
Police arrested him on August 4 after a report of “unethical conduct”.
A police statement revealed the gynaecologist was “in the habit of taking undue advantage of his female patients who come to him for treatment to sexually abuse the patients.”
Police said Nwachukwu “confessed to have had s*xual affairs with some of his female patients.”
His gynaecologist colleagues question his being detained since
early August. They also question police account of him drugging and then
sexually abusing women.
“This is all just to taint his image and the medical professional,” a fellow gynaecologist said in Nwachukwu’s defence.
“I’m not saying he’s guilty, I’m also not saying he is
innocent. That is what the court is for. But what the police is saying
to impossibility. What drugs did he use? How much drugs did he give
them? Did they test any of the women to know what drug they were given,
even if did happen?
“To do that, even if you could, you would have had to force a
patient to take the drug. How would you do that in a consulting room in a
hospital, busy with staff and patients all over the place. Then you
wait for her to go to sleep before abusing her. And then she would wake
up, reorganize herself and then drive home. By day or by night? The
timeline is impossible.”
