Lagos Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, caused a stir on Sunday night when he disclosed that he was once a victim of a wrong diagnosis.

Hamzat, an engineer by profession, was a special guest of honour at the unveiling of the Duchess Royal Medical Check-Up in collaboration with Lagos Marriott Hotel, Ikeja,.

According to him, a foreign doctor had once diagnosed him with diabetes after he went to him with complaint of strange rashes on his body.

“Actually, I had no reason to doubt him because my family has a history of diabetes. My father was also diabetic,” he said.

Continuing, Hamzat said that he was shocked when another doctor at Reddington Hospital ran another test on him and gave him a clean bill of health.

The physician who seemingly read the situation well told him that his rashes had no link to diabetes.

“I won’t blame the first doctor. He wasn’t actually wrong with his medical observation. He just didn’t know the Sub Saharan African environment well enough to understand my ailment,” he said.
