“I never performed any surgery on him” – Benue doctor tenders public apology for revealing sensitive information about a ‘patient’ on Facebook

The medical doctor, Kadev Kenneth Kelvin, who was remanded over alleged cyber stalking has tendered a public apology. 

A Benue State Magistrate Court remanded Kadev at the Federal Correctional facility in Makurdi on Tuesday. 

The accused was reported to have made a Facebook post on March 12, 2023 where he revealed that he stitched the lacerated anus of the Benue State publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bemgba Iortyom, after he was allegedly sodomized in Abuja prison in 2017.

Dr. Kadev, in the Facebook post after the incident, claimed that he has never met the complainant in life nor performed any surgery on him. 

“PUBLIC APOLOGY Earlier today, I had an altercations with Mr. Bemgba Iortyom, who have been writing malicious posts on the person of my principal and spiritual guardian, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia PhD. We exchanged words and insults,” he wrote. 

“I have received many calls from friends and associates that I went overboard. I want to make it public and categorically clear that my words were mere insults and lack substance. Remember, when two people insult each other, they say things that they don’t really mean. Insults are not meant to please anyone. 

“I have never seen Mr. Bemgba Iortyom in life except on this medium, and never perform any surgery on him.  I regret my actions for condescending to exchange such words and ask that you all look beyond this lapses on my part. It is not in my character. 

“For Mr. Iortyom, I have equally forgiven him and all he said, and I call on him to do same. We are humans and not above mistakes. Thank you all. Kadev Kenneth Kevin.”
