HE’S BEEN LIVING A FAKE LIFE ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. He calls himself a medical doctor to people just to gain social media followers. His name is Matthew Lani, a notorious Tik Toker who has been apprehended by health authorities for allegedly impersonating a medical doctor to gain social media followers.
Lani was caught trying to sneak into Helen Joseph Hospital in Johannesburg, wearing a hoodie, a surgical mask, and a stethoscope, pretending to be a qualified doctor.
After being stopped by security and questioned, he attempted to escape through a bathroom window but was recaptured.
Lani is now under arrest, facing charges of identity fraud and impersonating a medical doctor. Despite claiming to be affiliated with various medical institutions, all the institutions have denied any connection to him, while Lani maintains his innocence.
