Former Michigan Doctor Sentenced to Decades in Prison for Secretly Filming Family, Patients

A Michigan doctor has been sentenced to a minimum of 35 years in prison after pleading no contest to 31 counts of sexual misconduct, including secretly recording his wife, children, female relatives, and patients in hospitals and a children's swimming school.

A former Michigan doctor will spend decades behind bars after a judge sentenced him for a disturbing pattern of secret surveillance and sexual misconduct that targeted his own family and extended to his workplace.

Oumair Aejaz, 41, was sentenced on Tuesday to between 35 and 60 years in prison after pleading no contest to 31 felony charges. The charges included first-degree criminal sexual conduct, child sexually abusive commercial activity, and using a computer to commit a crime.

According to prosecutors, the investigation began in August 2024 after Aejaz's wife presented evidence that he had been secretly recording her, their two young children, and several female relatives in their home. The probe expanded to reveal that Aejaz also placed hidden cameras in other locations, including patient rooms at Henry Ford Hospital Macomb and Ascension Genesys Hospital where he worked, and at a Goldfish Swim School in Rochester Hills.

“This sentence ensures Oumair Aejaz will never again harm another victim,” Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney Karen D. McDonald said in a statement, while acknowledging the lasting trauma inflicted on those he recorded.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard condemned Aejaz's actions, stating he had exploited his "trusted position as a physician." The sheriff praised detectives and the computer crimes unit for their work in securing the conviction.

The case has also sparked civil litigation. Three women have filed separate lawsuits against Aejaz, alleging he recorded and sexually assaulted them at Henry Ford Hospital. Their attorney claims they reported the incidents to the hospital but no action was taken. Henry Ford Hospital has stated it does not comment on pending litigation.

Several investigations related to Aejaz's actions remain ongoing.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...

DSS Arrests Medical Doctor Accused of Supplying Drugs to Kwara Kidnapping Syndicate

Intelligence-led operation in Jebba uncovers healthcare professional allegedly aiding criminal networks. In a significant breakthrough, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a licensed medical doctor for his alleged role in supporting kidnapping gangs terrorizing parts of Kwara State.
