Missing intestine: Sanwo-olu takes over medical expenses of 13-year old

Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State, has taken over the medical care of Adebola Akin-Bright, a 13-year-old child whose intestines were allegedly missing at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

In a statement made public on the official website of Lagos state, Governor Sanwo-Olu committed to do everything humanly possible to preserve the boy’s life during a visit to the patient and his mother, Mrs. Deborah Abiodun, in the Paediatric Ward of LASUTH.

The Governor promised to take over his medical treatment, bringing all medical skills from LASUTH and other resources to the boy’s aid in order to preserve his life.

Recall that Deborah Abiodun pleaded with Governor Sanwo-Olu to look into the enigmatic disappearance of her 13-year-old son Adebola Akin-Bright’s small intestine in a Save Our Soul (SoS) message sent to him via social media.

She stated that the event took place when her son was receiving care at LASUTH.

However, in response to the accusations, the management of LASUTH claimed that during a corrective operation on Debola, who had previously undergone surgery at a private hospital in Lagos, they did not willfully remove any organ or structure from her body.

“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.
