How Quack Doctor Shortened My Daughter’s Life After Childbirth - Lagos Mother
Family mourns the tragic loss of a young mother who died at the hands of a fake doctor. The deceased was taken to an unqualified practitioner who falsely claimed to have treated her post-delivery, leading to fatal complications.
After a police investigation, the suspect, who only has a secondary school education and two and a half years of informal training, confessed to practicing without certification. He has been arrested, leaving the grieving family to seek justice.

Dear Nigerian Security Agencies,
As #activecitizens, we implore you to uphold the pillars of #Democracy & #PressFreedom.
#Journalists are essential guardians of our democracy amplifying the voices of ordinary citizens.
Silencing them only breeds distrust & weakens the bond between the @NigeriaGov & #WeThePeople.
