A senior nurse set off an emergency alarm on a ward so he could watch a colleague's breasts bounce as she ran down the corridor, a disciplinary tribunal heard.

Aaron Kibaja was a nurse at Highbury Hospital, in Bulwell, and acted inappropriately to four women during a four-year period, it is claimed.

Kibaja is said to have pulled the alarm when there was no emergency and simulated breasts moving with his hands as his panicked colleague dashed down the hallway.

Three women allege Kibaja would drop pens or keys on the floor and ask them to pick them up.

He would wink at them and say: "Go on, you want to."

He would deliberately block doorways so they would have to brush past him and is alleged to have groped at least two of the women while doing so.

In one supervision meeting, he dropped his keys before a colleague and nodded towards them saying "go on" while thrusting his hips.

He told the woman who injured her wrists she was "sexy" and "pretty" and asked: "Can I touch your bum?"

Kibaja is said to have sexually propositioned her, and on multiple occasions he gestured to his genitalia.

In a phone call he told her he missed her and breathed deeply down the line.

He also made references to a sexual position with another one.

He told her she had "a fine rump" and referred to her breasts as "twins".

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 and told the hearing: "I never said any of those things.

"The supervision meetings would be around the role and care and safety and would be talking about sessions in terms of support given or support required.

"It will entirely depend on what will happen on the ward."

Kibaja said he conducted his supervision meetings in private either in his office or in the office of one of the deputies.

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.

Asked if he said if one of the women had a "fine rump" he explained that he was talking about eating steak on a night out: "I never said that to her - that she has a fine rump.

"I can only recall a conversation as a team and I believe it was in the mess office where they were planning a night out as a team.

"I had never been on any night out with staff, the conversation was around what individuals like to eat and drink and I recall me saying I drink Jack Daniel's and Amaretto and the fact that my wife was a vegan, but when I go out I will have a steak."

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 was later adjourned until May 30 for the panel to rule on the case.
