Lucky Obukohwo ReportingÂ
A Nigerian nurse resident in the United Kingdom (UK) has been relieved of her job after praying for a sick patient at the hospital.
Authorities at the health facility invited the nurse for questioning after she conducted the prayer session.
It all began when she was put in charge of a patient who has a terminal illness, and she was moved to say a prayer for the woman.
It was gathered that the nurse prayed fervently, insisting that the patient would not die due to the illness.
The patient was said to have reported the nurse to her relative, who in turn reported to the authorities at the hospital.
The nurse was sacked after she was questioned by the leadership of the hospital for praying for a patient without their consent.
Relating the story, Raks Eseku, a Nigerian mental health nurse in the UK, advised people working in UK health facilities not to impose their beliefs on patients since there could be consequences.
