Abortion In London: Nigerian Doctor And 2 Nurses Accused Of Causing A Woman’s Death

A Nigerian doctor and two nurses are currently under the microscope of the law as the team has been accused of causing a woman’s death after abortion.

The 63-year-old Doctor Adedayo Adedeji and the two nurses, Margaret Miller, 55, from Camberley, Surrey, and Gemma Pullen, 32, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, are facing manslaughter charges believed to have been a result of gross negligence of a woman who died after an abortion was carried out on her in their hospital.

The deceased, 32-year-old Aisha Chithira died after having a termination at a Marie Stopes clinic in Ealing, west London, on January 21, 2012. All three appeared at a short hearing at the Old Bailey before Judge Charles Wide on Friday the 27th of November 2015 and denied killing Ms Chithira.
