Nigerian Doctor, Edwin Njoku Arrested For Raping His Patient In USA

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (NECN) - A East Hartford doctor accused of sexually assaulting a patient appeared in court.

Doctor Edwin Njoku may lose his medical license following accusations of sexual assault made by a female patient.
"He raped me. He's a rapist," said Anolan Drago, alleged victim.

Drago, 29 is talking about her doctor, Edwin Njoku. She says he sexually assaulted her last October in his East Hartford office during an exam. She went to the emergency room after the attack, and police were called.

Police gathered evidence including DNA samples from saliva on Drago's breast and fluid on her clothes and body. That evidence was presented at Dr. Njoku's disciplinary hearing where he faces the loss of his license to practice.

His license has already been suspended. A lab technician testified that the DNA in the fluids is consistent with Dr. Njoku. An East Hartford police officer said, when he first interviewed Dr. Njoku, the doctor had a curious reaction.

"He said that I will not admit that I have had intercourse. If that's what you want me to do, I'm not going to do that," said Sgt. Joshua Litwin of the East Hartford Police Department.

Dr. Kjoku's actions were curious because no one had mentioned what the accusations were.

Dr. Njoku's attorney told the medical panel that Drago's recount of what happened was inconsistent. But the lawyer for the health department had this response.
