The founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Mount Zion Medical Centre, located in Calabar South, Cross River State, Dr. Idem Etuk Samuel has been accused sexually molesting a child (names withheld) in the hospital's consulting room.
In a petition written by a non-governmental organization, Basic Rights Counsel Initiative (BRCI) and signed by the principal counsel, James Ibor, Esq, the doctor was accused of fondling the girl's breast while moaning.
The petition which was addressed to the Cross River State Commissioner of Police and seen by GRASSROOT REPORTERS, read in part:
"We received a report from our client in the company of her mother in our office on the 3 day of November 2021. Our clent recounted her ordeal at Mount Zion Medical Centre situated at No. 36/38 off Yellow Duke, Calabar South which began on the 22 day of October 2021 when she was admitted as a patient in the hospital.
"According to our client, Dr. Idem led her into his consulting room and instructed her to totally undress, but when she hesitated, he insisted and said that all doctors who examine or check a patient with difficulty in breathing require the patient to fuly undress for proper examination. He then assisted her to pull down her clothing.
" He thereafter placed a stethoscope on her bare chest severally, and after a few
minutes dropped it and leaned his weight on her and started groping her breast while
moaning. The assault continued through the three days she was on admission in the
hospital.
We have video, audio and screen shots evidence that can support your
investigation." The petition read.
