A Nigerian nurse impersonated a UK nurse at a hospital, avoided prison, but faces deportation after being caught using her identity.
Lucius Njoku, a 33-year-old Nigerian migrant, avoided prison after admitting to impersonating nurse Joyce George at Countess of Chester Hospital’s A&E department from February to April 2025.
Using her NHS badge and identity, he performed patient care duties while wearing her uniform, a deception uncovered when a patient questioned him.
Though no harm occurred and no complaints were filed, authorities cited breaches of safeguarding protocols.
Njoku, a qualified nurse without UK registration, received a 16-week suspended sentence, 80 hours of community service, and £239 in costs.
George, who permitted his shifts, fled the UK and faces an arrest warrant.
Njoku, on a work visa as a dependent, now works in a non-healthcare role and may face deportation.
The case has intensified scrutiny over NHS recruitment and identity verification, particularly in outsourced staffing.
