Nurse 'set off emergency alarm to watch colleague's breasts bounce as she ran'
Aaron Kibaja was a manager on the dementia ward at the Highbury Hospital in Nottingham.
He has been accused by four of his colleagues of acting inappropriately towards them between 2012 and 2016.In 2012, the married father-of-four pulled the alarm when there was no emergency and simulated breasts bouncing with his hands as the nurse ran down the hallway, it is claimed.
Three years later he had a meeting with a nurse about her return to work after a wrist injury and reportedly suggested her partner must be upset ‘because she couldn’t give him a hand job. He is alleged to deliberately block doorways and grope at least two of the women as they walked past.
In one supervision meeting in 2015, he allegedly dropped his keys before a colleague and nodded towards them saying ‘go on’ while thrusting his hips.
He is accused of telling the woman who injured her wrists she was ‘sexy’ and ‘pretty’ and asked: ‘Can I touch your bum?’Another woman was told she was going to ‘get it wheelbarrow’, it is said.Kibaja was informed of the allegations in January 2016 which he says were a ‘shock’.When asked where he thought they came from, Kibaja said: ‘I do not know and I do not think I will ever know.’Kibaja denies all the allegations against him.
He told the panel he was proud of his work on the ward and what they had achieved, although he conceded management could be difficult.Kibaja added: ‘From the time the allegations was said about me it has never been the same, not only for myself – I am a father with four kids, I so love my wife, I married her in 2015.
‘That was in February and the allegations came around the time I lost my dad in December.‘From the beginning I am telling the truth and only the truth and that is what I will still say now.’The misconduct hearing has been adjourned until May 30.
