‘’Dr. Flora

The insane ‘medical doctor’

After losing her husband some years ago she became insane. At the Mile 12 Market she is turned into sex machine . Now she goes about with her 4 year -old son while using medical instruments like stethoscope and weight measurement to test her ‘patients’ who are passers’ bye for a fee. Taiwo Abiodun met her

She stays behind the brick fence of the Mile 12 Market with her baby which can not less than four years old. By her side is a stethoscope and weighing scale machine. As you pass bye she beckons on you with a smile to come and check your weight and Blood Pressure for an undisclosed fee. While market women and passers bye would drop some naira notes she would smile and say ‘thank you ma or sir’. Later she would be soliloquising and speaking in ‘tongue’ . Welcome to Flora’s ‘Clinic’. Her clinic has no house , window or bed .She operates in the public.She is said to be from Delta .Nobody knows her past , while some people believe she must have been a Nurse before going insane , no wonder she goes about us with the medical instruments.

When this reporter met her she was eager to check his blood pressure .’’Come and check your blood pressure and your weight oga, to know how medically fit you are ‘’, she requested.

After she had been offered fifty naira note she then opened her box and brought out her stethoscope , but this reporter later refused and a drama ensued on why the reporter did not want his blood pressure checked again.

Flora as she called, is said to have been at this spot for the past three years.

Investigation revealed that she had a set of twins who are all females ,later she had another girl but all these children were taken away from her by a Church taking care of them.

Now many are concerned about the male boy he carries about as she does not part with him.

Flora called her baby boy David .’’I used to breastfeed him ‘’ she told this reporter.

Only few could say little about her .A market woman said when she lost her husband few years ago she became mad, ‘’ I learnt that when her husband died in an auto crash some years ago she turned into something else. She so much loved her husband ‘’.

While another woman whose identity is sketchy said ‘’ this woman has been sleeping in the market for some years and it was from there the Mallam impregnated her again and she carries the baby boy you are seeing now about .I wish the boy is taken away from her as he is exposed to danger especially the ritualists’’.
