BRITISH DOCTORS’ NEGLIGENCE, WHERE IS JUSTICE? 34-year-old Nigerian man, OSCAR OKWURIME Dies in Harmondsworth Detention centre…cried, begged for Medical Doctor treatment for weeks yet ignored Deceased wanted to become a trained medical doctor, found lying dead, foaming in the mouth in his cell by another detainee “Oscar entered Britain with a valid visitor’s visa, declared for Asylum after overstaying his visa. He was arrested. I told my late brother to tell the authorities so they can treat him. That first week, they didn’t do anything. And the second week he said they were still saying nothing. The last time I saw him, he told me he was on a waiting list of about 400. He said he was feeling pain in his side. He had not had any health issues before. It was a pure case of negligence. If someone is in your custody, telling you he’s not feeling well, it’s your duty of care to get them checked. Any time I’m alone, I’m in tears. It’s terrible, It’s very painful. I don’t know what to do” -Alex, victim’s family * The cause of his death is unknown but the situation is being investigated”-UK Home Office BY DAVID IMONITIE/SPECIAL CRIME REPORTER, reporting LIVE from UK
