UK-Based Nigerian Carer Sentenced for Abusing Elderly Dementia Patient Days Before His Death


A Nigerian carer, Bilikesu Olagunju, has been sentenced after being caught on camera violently abusing an 88-year-old dementia patient, John Attard, just days before his death. The incident occurred on Christmas Eve 2022 at the victim’s home in Bexley, Kent, as reported by Mail Online.


Olagunju, employed by Unique Personnel UK and only six days into her role as a care worker, was filmed stripping Mr. Attard, threatening to beat him, and ignoring his cries of pain. In the footage, captured by a camera installed by the victim’s son, Chris Attard, Olagunju is heard saying, “Maybe I will beat you up. I will flog you. I will take you to the GP to get injections. I will call the police on you.” She was also seen pouring marmalade into Mr. Attard’s coffee, despite knowing he was diabetic, and dragging him by his arm and collar, causing visible distress.


The following morning, Christmas Day 2022, Mr. Attard was found unresponsive with blood running down his face. He was rushed to hospital and passed away ten days later without regaining consciousness. A post-mortem examination could not conclusively link Olagunju’s actions to his death.


Olagunju pleaded guilty to one count of ill-treatment or willful neglect of a person lacking mental capacity at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London. She was sentenced to six weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to complete 50 hours of unpaid work.


Chris Attard, the victim’s son, called the sentence “an insult,” expressing frustration that the punishment did not reflect the severity of the abuse. “If those cameras had not been there, that person could still be out there treating elderly people like this,” he said. “I was expecting a suspended sentence, but the length and community service aspect is an insult. What kind of a deterrent is that?”


The case has raised concerns about the oversight of care workers and the protection of vulnerable individuals in the UK care system.
