A Nigerian woman, Taiwo Sobamowo, who treated a comatose Bobbi Kristina Brown in the last month of her life, was arrested in North Carolina, USA, on Sunday, on charges of impersonating a nurse.
Authorities say Sobamowo used the identity number of an actual nurse with a similar name in order to get a job at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, USA, where Brown died this past July.
Arresting papers list her as the person in charge for Brown’s care. Authorities have not said whether Brown’s livelihood was impacted by Sobamowo’s lack of training.
According to Daily Mail, investigators told Fox 5 Atlanta that they do not believe Sobamowo was trying to get close to the Brown family, since she is suspected of having pulled this con before at other medical centres.
The 32-year-old is also facing charges of forgery and identity theft.
Authorities reportedly started investigating Sobamowo in September, after receiving a tip.
Fox 5 reports that Sobamowo recently fled Georgia, but authorities were able to track her down to North Carolina where she was arrested.
Bobbi Kristina was transferred to the hospice on June 24, 2015 when her condition worsened and her family sought to take her off life support.
The 22-year-old daughter of Bobbi Brown and Whitney Houston died at the facility on July 26, 2015.
Kristina had been in a coma since January 31, 2015, after her long-time boyfriend Nick Gordon found her unconscious in a bathtub at their suburban Atlanta home in the United States.
