Nigerian Nurse in UK Allegedly Sacked, Deported for Praying for Patient

A Nigerian nurse based in the United Kingdom has reportedly been terminated from her job after being found praying for an elderly patient. The incident was disclosed by online doctor Harvey Olufunmilayo through his Twitter handle, @drolufunmilayo.

While the claim is yet to be independently verified, the doctor shared the story as a cautionary tale for Nigerian doctors working in the UK, advising them against praying for patients. According to the doctor, it is not customary for nurses to engage in praying for patients, and if religious services are required, a cleric should be called in to perform them.

The tweet reads, “I just read the sad story of a Nigerian who came to the UK and was employed by an agency to work as a caregiver for elderly people. She was assigned to care for an elderly patient who was dying, and she was reported for ‘praying for the client to get better’. Yeah. She got sacked and deported.”

The doctor also suggested that bringing religion into healthcare in the UK is considered an abuse of trust and a misuse of one’s position, emphasizing that healthcare professionals are expected to focus solely on their job responsibilities.
