A teacher, identified simply as Chukwuka has accused a medical doctor, Walter Igbokwe, of dragging her to a shrine for not paying a hospital bill she owed.
The woman, who is based in Anambra State, alleged that the doctor dragged her to Omaliko Idemili because she failed to pay a bill of N600,000.
Narrating her ordeal on Wednesday, Chukwuka said that she owed the doctor the amount of money when he treated her mother, who later died after being discharged from Igbokwe’s hospital.
Furthermore, the teacher said the doctor made her sign an agreement under duress to enable her take her deceased mother for treatment in a more competent hospital.

The woman said, “Since then he has been WhatsApping me, threatening my life that I will die if I eat his money and that is why I draw your attention to inhuman, unbearable and despicable treatment being meted out to me by somebody who calls himself a medical doctor.
“He is merely interested in making money, not saving lives in tandem with physicians’ oath.
“Worst still he submitted my name to many deities and shrines that some have invited me to, which I refused to honour because it is against my faith as a Christian.”
When contacted, the doctor denied the allegations, claiming that he never dragged her to any deity, but he did admit that anyone could use any means to recover his money.
