Nigerian faces sexual assault charges in Canada


Elijah George.
Elijah George, a Nigerian studying engineering at Memorial University in Canada, has been charged with sexually assaulting a nurse and assaulting another nurse while he was a patient at the psychiatric ward of the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s in May this year.

The 21-year-old was also charged with voyeurism for reportedly peeking under bathroom stalls of the women’s washroom which was outside the psychiatric unit.
However, his trial at a provincial court in Canada was stalled when the judge halted proceedings on Thursday over the accused’s mental capabilities. George had been laughing throughout proceedings in the morning.

The Nigerian will undergo a two-week psychiatric assessment. He is due back in court on November 8.
