A 29-year-old man named William Cyril Cohen has been arrested by security personnel at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana, for impersonating a medical practitioner.
Cohen was apprehended while lurking around the Chest Clinic and Accident and Emergency Block at the hospital during a time when doctors were expected to be in the wards and consulting rooms.
His suspicious behavior prompted the Director of Nursing to question him about his credentials. Although he initially claimed to be a doctor or nurse, further questioning made him nervous, and he attempted to flee. Hospital security personnel chased and apprehended him.
Upon further interrogation by hospital authorities, Cohen admitted that he was not a medical practitioner. He has since been handed over to the Central Police Station in Kumasi for further investigation.
