An NHS psychiatrist who advised a female patient to get help from controversial Nigerian spiritist TB Joshua’s 24-hour church TV channel, has been kicked out of his job.
Dr Julius Awakame, 50, who advised a woman that she might be possessed by demonic ‘special forces,’ has reportedly fled the UK following disciplinary action on him after he recorded medical notes diagnosing the woman as having a history of ‘satanic ritual abuse’ and said her issues could not be addressed by regular treatment.
Instead he gave her the name of the television station run by Joshua’s Lagos church adding: ‘neither psychiatry not psychology would be able to help because there are special forces at play.’
The woman – known as Patient A – claimed Awakame also told her to get ‘nice holy water’ before ‘switching off’ during the consultation at a health centre in Harwich, Essex.
When community psychiatric nurse Martin Rowe later quizzed Awkame whether she she was possessed, the medic replied: ‘She may well be’ and claimed she had been thrown out of her local church due to her condition.
The doctor’s employment with the North Essex Partnership Foundation Trust was terminated the following month.
Today Awkame – who has since returned to his native Ghana – faced being struck off after he was found guilty in his absence at a medical tribunal of a number of misconduct charges.
The consultation took place on January 23 2014 when Awakame was treating the vulnerable woman as an outpatient.
The hearing, in Manchester, was told he was made aware she had a ‘Dissociative Identity’ – a personality disorder – and a ‘history of previous satanic ritual abuse’ before making a record of it in his notes.
But Awakame, formerly of Ipswich, then told Patient A she had been ‘initiated through satanic ritual’ and wrote down a website address for her to access.
He told her the TV station was ‘specifically targeted for people who experienced similar situations.’
And he said her problems ‘could only be addressed by the church’ before he wrote down the name and suggested she write a book about her experiences.
He also told Patient A he had watched the TV station and said there were ‘many people who had similar problems’ to her.
The patient further claimed Awakame told her to ask the church to send her some ‘nice holy water’ to help with her problems. She later spoke to Mr Rowe about the encounter and the nurse quizzed Awakame.
When the nurse told Awakame that Patient A thought she might be ‘possessed’ he replied: ‘She may well be.’
The doctor also said he ‘studied’ the TV station ‘for hours’ and said the woman’s church had recognised she was possessed and had thrown her out.
Speaking of her emotional state following the meeting, Patient A said: ‘I had pretty much switched off after hearing Dr Awakame tell me that no psychiatrist or psychologist could help me as throughout my childhood my parents had told me that no one would believe me and no one would help me’.
Awakame was reported to a consultant psychiatrist at the Trust by Mr Rowe the day after the consultation.
Following an investigation he was subsequently sacked and referred to the General Medical Council.
Awakame, who worked in various hospitals in the NHS from 1997 to 2014, will be disciplined next month by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service.
He is currently working as a lecturer in ‘health informatics’ in his home country where he graduated in medicine in 1993.

He studied for a masters degree at the University College of London and a PhD at the University of Leeds.
In an email to the panel he said he had left clinical medicine and added: ‘I consider all these proceedings flogging of a dead horse. But I understand the GMC has to go through the motions.’
He said he did not have the ‘time or resources’ to be involved in the proceedings.
David Kyle, chairman of the fitness to practise panel dismissed a claim that Awakame had asked Patient A to get ‘nice holy water.’
But he said: ‘The Tribunal explored the possibility of Patient A being biased as well as considering her overall reliability. In the event, the Tribunal did not consider there was any such bias.
‘Her oral evidence to the Tribunal was consistent with her written statement. Despite the lapse of time and her complex mental health problems, she was a reliable and credible witness who was doing her best to give an accurate account of events.
‘There is unchallenged evidence that at an early stage of the consultation Dr Awakame knew about the patient’s diagnosis and previous history.
‘Indeed, he made a record of the diagnosis in his note of the consultation. Dr Awakame does not discount having said something about anointed water when describing the church to Patient A, but he has no recollection of doing so.’ – Daily Mail/Agencies

That is now the brainwashing of TB Joshua. When you get sack letter. But here is the problem. It’s very easy now for another company to hire him to promote TB Joshua again with his useless “anointed water” that does not work on many. What always is particular it’s most of the time black people that are brainwashed it will work out with them. While if you just go to the village dog statue after someone has declared just touch it for good luck, IT WORKS just because your mind is believing you are just a lucky person that day. It’s demonstrated by Derren Brown several time (an atheist and unbeliever) as well also Derren Brown proves that you can deceive a group of people if you just train the right person for the job such as been a pastor. It’s all done. The CIA did it in the past, so others will do again. The mind is easily fooled by choosing the right words. Just like you do now Domi DG. It’s just one of those psychological expressions that TB Joshua washes your brain with and you are too ignorant that you are been taken for a ride and deceive other people with it.
And…. there are millions of people out there who lose their job and find a better one next time. Because they would not just sit down and take anything less that will pay their bills.
Further, this man is out of order this psychiatrist. His assessment on the spiritual is just bizarre. Where did he get the discernment from ? From his credentials as a shrink ? So, here is a man that is trained to give people medication and professional councilling for what he is hired for by the NHS in the UK. Why does he even do that job, if “anointed water” is just the answer to everything. Why did he not if he believes in God do the deliverance himself in the private space of his practice or elsewhere ?
With that you are treading upon superstition and the elevation of just water for healing of all kinds. We remember what happened in Sierra Leone when TB Joshua was giving 50,000 dollars and a box of “anointed water” in which he promised he would administer personally only IF they would invite him. Nobody did invite him, yet they so called shipped this to Sierra Leone and guess what, the Ebola went up instead of down.
Here is another matter to look into regarding this charlatan.
When TB Joshua just announced that the teachings of the apostles were mere history and theories, which simply means they are of no significance to spiritual edification and uplifting. What an abomination! Does TB Joshua understands the danger of his heretic teaching? Please would anyone be able to tell this man that the bible is not a mere history book and a theory? The bible is the living word of God and faith can only come by reading and hearing that word. If TB Joshua believes his members are not saved, why not first preach the message of repentance and salvation just to be sure they are born again? The most important aspect of the gospel of Christ is the message of salvation which of course was the work of the apostles. The prophets and the works of the apostles certainly cannot be ignored because it is the embodiment of the word of God” Why does TB Joshua continues to propagate his fetish faith bracelet? Why not lead his followers to Christ and teach them on how to trust and depend on the holy spirit? Why is this man leading his followers to trust in the works of his own hand rather than the power of Christ and the Holy Spirit?
Nobody cares, no one is called accountable for such garbage going on the internet. And why do those followers go at length to protect him and let him coming back to get this foolishness out there for the spiritual and mental illiterate.
