Williams Osae Ababio, who posed as a medical officer and administered drugs and injections to some residents at Adepa, near Nsawam, has been arrested by the Nsawam Distict Police Command.
The suspect, Williams Osae Ababio aka Yaw Asabere, 55, was arrested after a pregnant patient fell unconscious after receiving an injection from him.
The pregnant woman, now paralyzed, allegedly lost the baby after she was rushed to the Nsawam Government hospital for treatment by some neighbours who witnessed the act.
Narrating the story to DAILY GUIDE, ASP Stephen Addom, the Nsawam District Crime Officer, said the victim, the wife of Yaw Asabere, had received several injections administered by the suspect to ensure safe delivery of their child.
The suspect, who lives with the wife at Adipa near Nsawam, treated many sick persons in the community.
In November, this year at Adipa, the victim fell ill but the suspect personally gave her a number of injections.
At the hospital, the wife, now confined to a wheel chair, lost her baby.
On December 2, 2012 however the Obodan police were informed by some neighbours about the incident.
The suspect wanted to escape with his tools, but the police moved to the house, arrested him and retrieved some drugs and injectables.
The case was forwarded to the Nsawam District Police Command for investigation.
A month ago, the wife fell unconscious and was rushed to the Nsawam Government hospital for treatment.
