The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has suspended a Kano based medical doctor, Dr. Shehu Abdullahi Muhammad, over negligence of duty.

 

It was gathered that the alleged negligence led to the death of a patient, one Maijidda Aminu.

 

Dr. Muhammad, who works at Abdullahi Wase Specialists Hospital, Kano, was alleged to have caused the death of late Maijidda while on admission at the hospital.

 

 

Ali Babba-Dan’agundi, father of the deceased dragged Dr. Muhammad before the Medical and Dental Council.

 

In a letter addressed to Danagubdi, the council said it has suspended Dr. Muhammad from practice, pending outcome of the investigation committee set up by the council.

 

The letter signed by the investigation panel secretary, Dr. E. D. Audu reads in part: “Pursuant to Section 15 (3) c of Medical Practitioners’ Act 2004 and in fulfilment of the panel’s order flowing there from, Dr.  Shehu Abdullahi Muhammad is suspended from the practice of medicine in Nigeria, pending the determination of his matter by the Medical and Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.”
