In its fight against quackery, Ondo State Police Command has arrested a suspect operating an illegal clinic at Ore.
Command’s spokesman, Abayomi Jimoh, explained that the arrest forms part of the intensified efforts to dismantle medical criminal networks operating within the state.
The statement stated that “the arrest followed an intelligence-led operation by Command’s Surveillance Team, during which the suspect, Idris Nasiru (male), aged 25 years, was apprehended.
“A search of his shop led to the recovery of various medical items, including packs of injection needles, medical drips, bandages, and assorted medical kits.
“Subsequently, a thorough search of his residence was conducted with a duly signed search warrant, during which used injection bottles, needles, and syringes were also recovered.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is not a registered medical practitioner, confirming that the clinic was being operated illegally.
“He has since made useful statements while in custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.”
Commending the operatives for their prompt and professional conduct, the Commissioner of Police, Ondo State Command, CP Adebowale Lawal, emphasized the importance of intelligence-led policing in disrupting criminal activities.
He reassured residents of the Command’s unwavering resolve to leave no stone unturned in ensuring the safety and security of lives and property across the State.
