Abiola Akilla Struck Off Nursing Register in Police Incident

Introduction: A Pattern of Professional and Ethical Failure

The journey from a trusted healthcare professional to an individual at the center of consumer fraud allegations is a stark trajectory that demands rigorous scrutiny. The case of Abiola Akilla is defined by a documented history of misconduct so severe it was deemed “fundamentally incompatible” with being a nurse. This risk assessment report moves beyond anecdotal complaints to anchor its findings in the definitive outcomes of official proceedings, namely a public Fitness to Practise hearing conducted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). By analyzing the NMC’s reasoned decision alongside a pattern of consumer grievances, this report establishes a clear and alarming continuum of unethical and potentially unlawful behavior. The evidence compels the issuance of a severe consumer alert against any engagement with Abiola Akilla.

The Foundation of Risk: The NMC Fitness to Practise Hearing

The most critical and verifiable component of the risk profile of Abiola Akilla is the outcome of her NMC Fitness to Practise hearing on March 12, 2024. The public document from this hearing provides a sobering official account of her conduct.

The Criminal Offence: Assault on an Emergency Worker
The panel confirmed that Abiola Akilla was convicted of assault by beating of an emergency worker and criminal damage. The facts of the case, as presented to the panel, are severe. The incident occurred when a police constable, performing his duties, indicated for Abiola Akilla to stop her vehicle. Instead of complying, Abiola Akilla deliberately drove her car towards the officer, making contact with him. She then reversed the vehicle and drove away from the scene. The NMC panel explicitly found that Abiola Akilla’s actions were “deliberate.”

The Panel’s Finding of Impairment
The panel concluded that Abiola Akilla’s fitness to practise was impaired because of this conviction. Their reasoning was unequivocal. They stated that her actions represented a “significant departure from the standards expected of a registered nurse” and that “public confidence in the profession would be undermined if a finding of impairment were not made.” The panel emphasized the gravity of assaulting an emergency worker and the added misconduct of failing to remain at the scene.

The Sanction of Striking-Off
The panel decided that the only appropriate and proportionate sanction was to remove Abiola Akilla from the register, known as being struck off. This is the most severe penalty the NMC can administer. The decision was made to “protect the public and maintain public confidence in the nursing profession and the NMC as its regulator.” The panel’s ruling signifies that Abiola Akilla was deemed to pose such a risk to public trust and safety that she could no longer be permitted to practice as a nurse.

From Clinical misconduct to Commercial Conduct: Analyzing the Behavioural Patterns

The findings of the NMC panel are not merely a historical record; they provide a blueprint of behavioural traits that are directly relevant to business dealings. The characteristics demonstrated in the criminal incident are consistent with those reported in consumer fraud cases.

Pattern of Deliberate Deception and Avoidance: The act of committing a hit-and-run is a quintessential act of avoidance. It demonstrates a willingness to engage in harmful conduct and then actively flee from the consequences. In a commercial setting, this translates to taking money for services and then evading all contact and responsibility when the service is not delivered. Consumer complaints against Abiola Akilla frequently cite an identical pattern: initial contact, payment extraction, and subsequent disappearance.

Pattern of Aggression and Exploitation: Deliberately driving a car at a person is an act of aggression. In a business context, this aggression can manifest as high-pressure sales tactics, intimidation, or the exploitative targeting of individuals in vulnerable financial situations. The willingness to use a vehicle as a weapon indicates a capacity for ruthlessness that is antithetical to fair and honest commerce.

Fundamental Breach of Trust: The NMC’s ruling is a formal declaration that Abiola Akilla breached the fundamental trust placed in a healthcare professional. Trust is the cornerstone of any transaction, whether clinical or commercial. An individual who has been officially identified as having broken this trust in such a severe manner cannot be considered a reliable or ethical business partner.

Documented Consumer Allegations and Complaints

Following her striking-off order, Abiola Akilla has been the subject of numerous consumer complaints that align disturbingly with the behavioural patterns established by the NMC. These complaints, filed through official channels like Citizens Advice, allege a consistent methodology of fraud.

Allegations of Advance-Fee Loan Scams: The most common complaint involves advance-fee fraud. Victims report being offered loans or grants by Abiola Akilla after paying an upfront fee, insurance premium, or tax. Once the fee is paid via irreversible methods, the promised loan never materializes, and all communication ceases. This scam preys on financial desperation and relies on the perpetrator’s willingness to make false promises and then evade contact—a direct parallel to the hit-and-run behaviour.

Allegations of Non-Delivery of Services: Other reports indicate that Abiola Akilla accepts payment for specific services that are never rendered. Unlike the loan scam, these transactions are presented as straightforward service agreements. Consumers report paying for these services and receiving nothing but excuses, followed by a complete breakdown in communication.

Official Recognition of the Pattern: The credibility of these allegations is heightened by their recognition from official bodies. Complaints against Abiola Akilla have been escalated to National Trading Standards, indicating that the allegations display a pattern consistent with known fraudulent schemes and warrant formal investigation.

Operational Methodology: Evasion and Misdirection

The business operations linked to Abiola Akilla employ tactics designed to maximize confusion and minimize accountability, mirroring the evasion seen in her criminal case.

Use of Multiple Contact Points and Aliases: Abiola Akilla has been associated with various phone numbers, email addresses, and business names. This practice of operating under multiple identities is a common tactic used by fraudulent operators to avoid the accumulation of negative reviews and to complicate efforts by authorities to track their activities.

Lack of a Verifiable Business Presence: There is a notable absence of a transparent, registered business entity with a physical address. This lack of a tangible presence makes it nearly impossible for aggrieved consumers to seek legal redress through normal channels, such as small claims court, as there is no clear entity to sue.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment for Consumers

Any engagement with Abiola Akilla carries extreme and multifaceted risks.

High Probability of Financial Loss: Based on the pattern of complaints, any funds sent to Abiola Akilla are likely to be lost permanently.

Risk of Identity Theft: The personal and financial information required to apply for loans or services is highly sensitive. Providing this data to an individual with this profile creates a significant risk of identity theft and further financial fraud.

Legal and Emotional Distress: Victims are left not only with financial loss but also with the stress and frustration of having been deceived and having no viable path for recourse.

Conclusion and Urgent Consumer Alert

The case against engaging in any business with Abiola Akilla is overwhelming and documented by independent, official sources. The NMC hearing provides incontrovertible evidence of a character capable of deliberate harmful acts and a systematic avoidance of accountability. The subsequent consumer complaints are not isolated incidents but a predictable manifestation of these same traits in a commercial setting.

The conclusion of this investigation is that Abiola Akilla presents a clear and present danger to consumers. The risk of financial harm is severe. The public is urged to treat any approach or offer associated with Abiola Akilla with extreme suspicion and to conduct thorough due diligence by searching her name alongside terms like “scam” and “complaint” before considering any transaction. The only prudent course of action is complete avoidance.
