Medical student 'endured racist taunts by NHS doctors who wanted virus to kill off Africans'

Virginia Jibowu is suing King's College medical school for £5.5m

King's College, London, is where Miss Jibowo was a medical student

A former medical student suing her college for £5.5 million was bullied by racist colleagues now practising in the NHS as doctors.
Virginia Jibowu, 27, claims that a string of white students harassed her, with one woman student attacking her and that she was told to ‘grin and bear’ casual racism.
Another female student allegedly suggested introducing a killer disease into Africa to wipe out all the blacks.
Miss Jibowu, who is of Nigerian origin, alleges that she missed out on a career as a doctor after a sustained campaign of abuse at London's King's College medical school.
She alleges that the college ruined her career by trying to ensure she failed her course and then expelling her.
She is suing the college, which is part of the University of London, for failing to prevent her having to study in a ‘hostile and humiliating’ environment.
Miss Jibowu says that the college refused to investigate many of her allegations of racism.
She yesterday kicked off her claim against the college for harassment, race discrimination, victimisation, negligence and breach of contract at Central London County Court.
Miss Jibowu, of Lambeth, south London, is seeking £5.5 million in damages for loss of career earnings, injury to feelings and reputation and punitive damages.
In legal papers submitted to the court she said: ‘All of the alleged racists are now practising as doctors in the NHS.
‘This ingrains the problem of institutional racism within the medical practice.
