A 27-year-old man, Lord Adingo has been arrested by security personnel of the Brong Ahafo Regional Hospital for posing as a medical doctor.
Adingo reportedly roamed the streets of Sunyani and held himself as a medical doctor who studied at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom.
According to the taxi driver, who took him to the security personnel, he met the suspect on the evening of July 6, 2012 fully dressed like a medical doctor.
He said the self-styled doctor told him he was a medical doctor at South Suntreso Hospital in Kumasi.
The driver, who only gave his name as Asare, said the next morning he met the self-styled doctor dressed in his white dress, stressing that Adingo was going to work so he decided to give him a lift.
During the ride, a conversation ensued between the two but the answers given by Adingo were unclear so he decided to hand him over to the security to prove his claims.
Upon arrival at the hospital, they realized he had an identification card with the name Prof. Dr. Lord Adingo of Universal Hospital, South Africa.
The self-styled doctor, in an interaction with the security personnel, said he hails from Bongo in the Northern part of Ghana but lives with a friend in Odumase in the Sunyani West District of the Brong Ahafo and work as a farmer.
The Station Officer for Sunyani Municipal Police, Chief Inspector, Kofi Oduro Amponsah confirmed the arrest later and said he will be interrogated and charged accordingly.
