Police said the victim also appeared to have sustained a \u201csignificant facial injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officers with the Leesburg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/01\/25\/shedrack-ochoche-police-deny-torturing-man-to-death-over-missing-car-battery\/\">Police<\/a> Department at approximately 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 16 responded to a 911 call about a possible battery at the University of Florida Health Leesburg Hospital emergency room. Upon arriving at the scene, several members of the hospital\u2019s staff confirmed to police that Nwabuko unnecessarily struck a patient multiple times in the face.<\/p>\n<p>Per the affidavit, one of the nurses described to police that medical personnel commonly judge the state of a patient\u2019s consciousness by laying the patient on their back, holding their hand a few inches above their face, and letting the hand drop. The patient \u201cwill either move or stop their hand to prevent it from striking their face,\u201d a member of the hospital staff explained.<\/p>\n<p>That staffer also reportedly witnessed Nwabuko\u2019s interaction with the victim and told police that the doctor \u201cclearly\u201d was not following typical procedure because he believed the patient was \u201cfaking\u201d her medical condition, the affidavit stated. The staffer said that despite seeing the patient clearly attempting to stop her hand from hitting her face, Nwabuko repeatedly used her hand to strike her face in three separate instances, each time using more force.<\/p>\n<p>After his initial interaction with the victim, Nwabuko allegedly left the examination room and returned a short while later, according to the document. When Nwabuko returned to the examination room a second time, he again used the patient\u2019s own hand to strike her in the face several times, per the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I have to do this or I will have to intubate you,\u201d Nwabuko allegedly said while hitting the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents say the victim suffered beyond the blows to the face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the second battery, the Victim\u2019s IV line, located in her left arm, came out and the Victim\u2019s arm began bleeding on the Victim\u2019s face and chest area,\u201d a witness allegedly told police. Another witness quoted in the reports who described the second alleged battery said that the IV line was \u201cripped from the Victim\u2019s arm causing her to bleed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nwabuko allegedly returned a third time and used the patient\u2019s hand to strike her face, again insisting that she was \u201cfaking,\u201d per the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>The victim told police that she was \u201csemi-unconscious\u201d during the interactions but that she clearly remembered Nwabuko striking her and telling her that she was \u201cfaking the seizure,\u201d per the affidavit. She said couldn\u2019t speak and did not have the strength to prevent Nwabuko from controlling her hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe attempted to stop him but was unable to speak or physically resist the force in which he was using. He continued to batter her harder and harder until nursing staff stepped in,\u201d the affidavit says. \u201cShe stated that he was laughing at and mocking her for faking the seizure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The victim also noted that Nwabuko \u201ccontinuously conducted a sternum rub to elicit a response\u201d from her.<\/p>\n<p>Police said that the victim appeared to have \u201csignificant swelling, redness, and bruising to her left eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nwabuko was taken into custody and processed at the Lake County Jail in Tavares following the incident. He was released after posting bond of $3,000. His arraignment is currently scheduled for March 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For repeatedly attacking a semi-unconscious female patient, an emergency room Nigerian doctor in Florida has been arrested.
