It was gathered that the bill was incurred as the cost of treatment and discharge to the late mother of the teacher, when she was being discharged to look for another better hospital as her health was deteriorating, excluding N250,000 the teacher had earlier paid prior to commencement of treatment.
Briefing newsmen on her ordeal in the hand of the doctor, she hinted that she signed owing the doctor under duress to enable her to get away with her mother to a better hospital as the doctor had insisted that either she paid the amount or sign an agreement with him before taking away her mother.
The teacher 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.
