Michael Akorful Onyeagolo who claimed to be a medical practitioner with a hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, was yesterday arrested for impersonation.
Onyeagolo 28, aka Dr. Hilary Abiwu, confessed that he was not a medical doctor.
He said he stole the certificates from a doctor in Ghana.
Michael was caught when he mismanaged a patient who was brought to the hospital.
He said, "I was in school in Ukraine but could not graduate. I ran away from the school because I was to be arrested for being a witness to a crime.
"I went out to a joint with my friends one day and there was a fight. In the course of the fight, somebody died. The police arrested the guy and were looking for me. So I ran away."
On how he began to practice, he said a friend of his gave him the certificates with which he had been working.
The Hospital said that he did the examination twice and failed and on the third sitting, he passed and got a provisional licence.
In the process of verifying his documents, it was discovered that his certificates were stolen from another doctor in Ghana.
