Kwara govt suspends doctor who allegedly killed two women

The Kwara State Government has placed Dr Adio Adebowale, who allegedly kidnapped, killed two women and buried corpses in his office on indefinite suspension.

The Informant247 reports that Adebowale, the Chief Medical Director of Kaiama General Hospital in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara, was alleged to have killed two ladies, one of whom was his girlfriend, and buried them in different places in his office.

However, the Kwara state branch of the Nigeria Medical Association has confirmed the status of Adebowale as a certified medical doctor and a member of the association.

It was gathered on Tuesday in Ilorin that Adebowale was placed on suspension by the Senior Staff Management Committee of the state Ministry of Health, which is responsible for imposing disciplinary action on senior members of staff in the Kwara State Health Management Board.

While commenting on the issue, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Raji Razaq, said, “Yes, I’m confirming to you that he has been suspended and his salary has been stopped pending the conclusion of an investigation into his activities by the security agencies.

“He is alleged to have committed a criminal offence. We have to suspend him and stop his salary. We have to wait for other actions pending the time the investigation is concluded, and you know that a person is deemed innocent until he’s proven guilty of the alleged offence by a court of competent jurisdiction. We will wait until the investigation is concluded and the defendant is proven guilty by the court before we take any other action,” he stated.
