What you need to know:

  • Two of his siblings are in the medical profession, with one being a surgeon and the other a pharmacist.
  • A neighbour told the Nation that Mugo attended Gitiba Primary School before joining Dagorreti High School.

When the news broke of fake doctor James Ndichu Mugo once again running an unlicensed clinic three years after the first one was shut, he said people were out to tarnish his name.

Mugo, also known as Mugo wa Wairimu or Dr Jimmy, had also previously been accused of sedating female patients and raping them.
