A certain Peter Bishung has been arrested by the Calabar state police command for allegedly defrauding over 30 people of more than N6million. Mr. Bishung, who posed as a medical doctor according to reports, defrauded people by promising them fake contracts. He would hang around the Ministry of Health headquarters premises at the Michael Ani secretariat in Calabar where he waited for unsuspecting victims.
He allegedly posed as a middle man for contracts especially for the 1.5 million dollars world bank health grant to revitalize the Primary Health care system in the state.
Luck ran out when he asked by a Dr. Kenneth Takim, to produce relevant papers to prove he was a medical practitioner which he failed to do.
He claimed to be “working with department of medical services in the second floor of the Cross River State Ministry of Health, Calabar,” a source in the ministry told CrossRiverWatc. “He is on the run because he could not offset the bills he incurred there amounting to almost NGN200,000,” the source added. The Police is said to have recovered the profiles of 32 companies in the same room. And, Police sources say the matter has been moved from the Zone Six Police Command in Calabar and is now domiciled at the Federal Housing Division.
