UK Based Nigerian Doctor Convicted Of Sexual Assault.

Convictions: Dr. Benjamin Obukofe outside Leicester Crown Court where he was found guilty of two sexual assaults


Dr Benjamin Amrakpovughe Obukofe, an Alumni of University Of Ibadan , MB BS 1990, was found guilty by a court last year of sexually assaulting two colleagues at Spire Hospital in Leicestershire as well as Milton Keynes General Hospital , Hertfordshire. He had seven counts of sexual assault involving five females – three nursing staff, a clerical employee and a 16-year-old trolley hostess from the two hospitals. Christopher Kessling, prosecuting judge, claimed at the start of the trial that Obukofe was a "sexual menace" who made persistent approaches to female members of staff. Though his defendant claimed that her clients friendly behaviour was misunderstood and that it was a "witch-hunt" against him.
Although the married father was given a suspended prison sentence and put on the sex offenders register for seven years, he has not been struck off and will be free to work within a year in the United Kingdom. I dont even know what to believe. Are we not supposed to feel safe with our Doctors.
