Prosper Mpofu, alias Taurai Prosper Vanhuvaone, was arrested yesterday at Mpilo Central Hospital for impersonating a doctor and defrauding patients. Mpofu, out on bail for previous fraud charges, continued to pose as a medical professional, targeting unsuspecting patients for financial gain.
The suspect’s latest scheme involved convincing patients to pay for medical services he was not qualified to provide. Hospital officials and law enforcement are concerned about the breach in security and potential harm to patients.
The repeated arrests of Mpofu highlight the need for vigilance in healthcare institutions. Patients and staff are urged to report suspicious behavior and verify medical credentials. The police investigation is ongoing, with potential accomplices being probed.
