How camera captured health workers maltreating 89-year-old woman
Meanwhile, law enforcement disclosed that the workers were captured on camera mistreating an 89-year-old woman who has vascular dementia and is unable to communicate.
BBC reported that in February 2020, the family of the woman covertly placed a camera in her living space and documented video content spanning four days upon observing bruising on her arm.
The footage revealed further the instances of the woman being handled roughly, struck with a pillow and subjected to undignified and disrespectful treatment.
Sadly, the woman passed away in October, prompting a police official to remark that “she should not have spent any of her remaining years suffering such ill-treatment.”
The footage, which was captured for over four days showed the caregivers rough handling the 89-year-old elderly patient.
More details of the viral clip
The Punch reported on Thursday, January 18, 2024, that the grandchildren of the patient took the video evidence to the care home managers, the Care Quality Commission, and the West Midlands Police.
While Ame Tunkara and Morountaro Adefila were found guilty of ill-treatment and wilful neglect and sentenced on December 8, 2023, to four months in prison, Danny Ohen and Bridget Aideyan were also found guilty of the same offences and sentenced to six months and four months, respectively, on November 14.
Nigerian student arrested for impregnating 4 female police officers in US? Fact Emerges

A US-based content creator, DNVlogsLife TV, debunked the story using evidence from Google images.
The evidence from Google showed that the image of the alleged Nigerian was a man arrested during the Martin Luther King Day parade in 2003.
