Dr. Anthony Amako Agomuoh of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, was charged by the RCMP with assault, resisting arrest, and assaulting a child with a weapon. He was found guilty of the assault-with-a-weapon charge, which he inflicted on his own child over a six-year period.
Concerned residents in Yorkton and the surrounding area are calling on the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan to take precautionary review and risk-mitigation measures, while the CPSS downplays the criminal conviction as mere “off-duty conduct related to disciplining a child,” as if Dr. Agomuoh simply got caught up in a case.

We obtained exclusive court documents from the Yorkton Provincial Courthouse that tell a very different story. The CPSS continues to allow Dr. Agomuoh to practice medicine without any restrictions, prompting serious concerns for child safety.
According to court records, The Honourable Justice L. Hintz authorized the RCMP to take Dr. Agomuoh’s bodily substances for forensic DNA analysis and ordered him to serve 18 months of probation starting December 9, 2024. The conditions include keeping the peace and being of good behaviour, reporting to his probation officer, participating in anger management or personal counselling, making a $500 donation to Shelwyn House — a women’s shelter for domestic abuse survivors — and not possessing any firearms, ammunition, or other weapons.
His probation is due to end in a few weeks. Nearly three years after the charges were laid, the CPSS has still not scheduled a disciplinary hearing to determine what consequences Dr. Agomuoh should face for his criminal conviction. By downplaying a six-year assault with a weapon as mere “disciplining,” the College raises serious questions about its fitness, fairness, and ability to protect the most vulnerable members of our society: children.
