The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, has summoned Dr Zakari Aliyu, medical director of the Taraba State Specialist Hospital and Doctor to ailing Taraba State governor Danbaba Suntai, for allegedly breaching the Doctor-Patient confidentiality clause.

LEADERSHIP reported that when Dr Aliyu's case came up for mention at a tribunal hearing on Thursday, the doctor was nowhere to be found.

However, a letter which he wrote to the tribunal via mail was read by the secretary of the tribunal. In it, he apologised for his absence, saying he was no longer resident in Nigeria and has since relocated to the United States. He denied receiving any of the tribunal’s summonses, considering that his address has since changed. “I got to know of the request to appear before the tribunal through the newspapers,” the letter read.

The doctor pled for more time to prepare adequately, so that he can attend the next sitting of the tribunal.
