The medical doctor at the centre of the controversy surrounding a medical report submitted in support of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s bail application has admitted preparing the document but denied taking part in any plan to forge or falsify records.
Dr. Bello Abubakar, a Chief Consultant Clinical and Radiation Oncologist at the National Hospital, Abuja, made the disclosure in a statement submitted to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) during an investigation into the disputed report.
The oncologist, who is facing charges filed by the anti-corruption agency, insisted that he authored the medical report in question but rejected allegations that he conspired with anyone to produce false information for use in court proceedings.
According to him, he has no relationship with Mohammed Bala Aliyu, the individual accused of using the report to swear to an affidavit filed in support of El-Rufai’s application for bail.
