27-Day-Old Baby Bled to Death After Circumcision By a Nigerian Nurse

 

A 27-day-old baby bled to death after he was circumcised by a nurse, Manchester Crown Court heard yesterday. Goodluck Caubergs died the day after 66-year-old nurse Grace Adeleye from Nigeria, carried out the procedure without anaesthetic and using only a pair of scissors, forceps and olive oil. It is alleged she botched the procedure by leaving a 'ragged' wound that bled, and her post-op care was also woefully inadequate.

 Adeleye, also a midwife in the UK, was paid £100 (N25,000) to do the operation as Goodluck’s parents were not aware the procedure was available on the NHS.
Nurse Adeleye, denies manslaughter by gross negligence of the baby.
Goodluck was born on March 22, 2010, in Rochdale and died on April 17, the day after the circumcision, aged 27 days.

Oh dear....

  1. Nurse Elizer. How come she qualified as a midwife in the uk with such bad professional practice? Poor boy indeed.
