Nigerian Man Jailed in UK for Impersonating Female Nurse

A Nigerian man, Lucius Njoku, has been given a suspended prison sentence in the UK for fraudulently working in a hospital by impersonating a female nurse.

He wore her NHS badge, which had her photograph, for two months before a patient confronted him about his identity.
