A medical doctor in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, has landed in deep trouble for allegedly raping a married woman he was treating.
The doctor, Dr. Phillips Duru, who works at the Adamawa State Specialist Hospital, Yola, also runs a private clinic where the alleged rape incident took place.
Consequently, the police have arraigned the suspect before a Yola Chief Magistrate after due investigation.
When the suspect appeared in court yesterday, the police prosecutor alleged that he committed the offence in the laboratory of his private clinic.
However, the presiding Magistrate, Aliyu Bawuro, adjourned further hearing to November 26.
Speaking on the matter, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Sulaiman Nguroje, said the plaintiff lodged a complaint, alleging that the suspect had raped her.
According to Nguroje: “It is true. The matter was reported to the police through a complaint by the victim, who said she and her husband visited the Specialist Hospital and met the doctor over a health challenge.”
