Isyaka Mamman, believed to be 85, due to be sentenced after admitting gross negligence manslaughter

A woman died after a doctor botched a routine procedure, a Manchester court has heard.

Dr Isyaka Mamman, who is believed to be 85, had been suspended once by a medical watchdog for lying about his age and had been sacked but then re-employed by the Royal Oldham hospital, where he was responsible for a series of critical incidents before the fatal appointment, Manchester crown court was told.
