Struck off the register
The NMC's Investigating Committee found that Esther Temitayo Ayelabowo's entry on the nursing register was fraudulently procured, because the Computer Based Test result she submitted from the Yunnik Technologies test centre in Nigeria on 29 March 2022 had been obtained through fraud, most likely through use of a human proxy. She completed the clinical test in under ten minutes against an allowed time of 150 minutes. The panel directed under Article 26(7) that her entry be removed from the register, with an 18-month interim suspension order covering the appeal period.
