Added to MedicWatch: 8 July 2026Report a correction
What does “struck off the register” mean?
Being struck off (the regulator calls this "erasure") removes the practitioner from the register. They are no longer permitted to practise this profession in the UK. Erasure can be reviewed after a minimum of five years, but is otherwise indefinite.
Concerning Ibukunolu Abosede Oladipo, nurse (Nursing and Midwifery Council 21H0053O).
Decision date: 11 June 2026 · Hearing started 11 June 2026
In plain English
The NMC's Investigating Committee found that Ibukunolu Abosede Oladipo's entry on the nursing register was incorrectly made, because it relied on a computer-based test taken at the Yunnik Technologies test centre in Nigeria, where the NMC declared all results void after evidence of widespread fraud. The panel noted there was no information suggesting Miss Oladipo herself used fraud. It directed the Registrar to remove her entry from the register.
Charges
That she submitted, or caused to be submitted, a Computer Based Test result obtained at the Yunnik Technologies Limited test centre on 6 June 2020, which was subsequently declared void by the NMC due to concerns about the manner in which tests were being conducted at the test centre, and that in light of this her entry on the NMC register was incorrectly made.
Findings
The Investigating Committee panel found that the entry on the NMC register in the name of Ibukunolu Abosede Oladipo was incorrectly made, because it depended on a CBT taken at the Yunnik centre in Ibadan, Nigeria, where the panel determined widespread fraud had taken place and the Registrar was justified in deeming all tests invalid. The panel noted the absence of any information supporting that Miss Oladipo had potentially committed fraud to obtain her CBT. It directed the Registrar to remove her entry under Article 26(7) of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001, subject to a 28-day appeal period. No interim order was made, as her registration had already lapsed on 31 August 2024.
