85 YEAR OLD NIGERIAN DOCTOR JAILED IN LONDON

UK jails Nigerian doctor Mamman who lied about his age, then killed mom of 3

Dr Isyaka Mamman: end of a career

A court in the UK has jailed octogenarian Nigerian doctor, Isyaka Mamman for killing a mother-of-three after botching a bone marrow biopsy and piercing her heart during a routine appointment.

Mamman of Cumberland Drive, Royton, was today sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to three years imprisonment after pleading guilty, at an earlier hearing.

He admitted to the manslaughter by gross negligence of one of his patients, Shahida Parveen, 48, who died during the treatment at Royal Oldham Hospital in 2018.

Mamman, now 85, gave no reaction as he was jailed, but his family wept in the public gallery at the court.

Mamman was 81 at the time of the medical incident, reports Mail online.

The doctor had already been suspended for lying about his age – and colleagues thought he should be retired after botching similar procedures, leaving a patient permanently disabled, before the fatal incident.

The Nigerian-born medic, aged 81 at the time, carried out the ‘highly dangerous’ procedure using the wrong needle and inserted it in the wrong place, piercing her heart sac.

The 48-year-old and her husband had asked Mamman to abort the treatment but he persisted, and she died later the same day in September 2018.

Following her death, a consultant provided an expert opinion to the police that the procedure had been inappropriately and incompetently performed.

Passing sentence, Mrs Justice Yip criticised both the defendant and the hospital trust that employed him, saying there is a ‘troubling background’ to the case with the doctor’s age and two prior critical incidents in 2015.

AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE By Sunday Ajibola There are men and there are men. Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time. It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city.

I was looking for the "electric
