Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has taken over the
medical care of Adebola Akin-Bright, a 13-year-old boy, whose small part of his
intestines was allegedly missing at the Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.
Sanwo-Olu made the promise on Sunday when he paid an
unscheduled visit to Adebola and his mother, Mrs. Deborah Abiodun at the
Pediatric Ward of LASUTH.
The governor pledged to take over his medical care by
pulling all medical expertise from LASUTH and other resources to save the boy’s
life.
It would be recalled that Deborah Abiodun, had in a Safe Our Soul (SoS) message via social media reached out to Governor Sanwo-Olu, to appeal to him, as a matter of urgency, to probe the mysterious disappearance of her 13-year-old son, Adebola Akin-Bright’s small intestine.
She claimed the incident occurred while her son was
receiving treatment at LASUTH.
But the management of LASUTH in response to the allegations,
affirmed that they did not willfully remove any organ or structure from
Debola’s body while performing a corrective surgery, who had been previously
operated on at a private hospital in Lagos.
“He (Debola) required extensive optimisation in our facility
before a corrective surgery could be carried out. At the surgery, which was
carried out by an experienced pediatric surgeon and her team revealed certain
strange findings. There is a video clip of these findings. The mother was
informed about these findings but she appeared to be in denial,” LASUTH
management stated.
In response to the need to save the life of the boy, who has
been undergoing treatment at LASUTH for over a month, Governor Sanwo-Olu during
his visit to the hospital on Sunday promised to do everything humanly possible
to save Adebola Abiodun’s life.
Sanwo-Olu after listening to both the mother of the child
and the doctor who was in charge of Adebola’s case, said what is paramount is
the life of the 13-year-old boy and therefore he will take up the case.
Responding, Adebola’s mother, Deborah Abiodun expressed her
appreciation to Governor Sanwo-Olu for the visit and for taking up the medical
care of her promising young boy.Sanwo-Olu
