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.
He made the commitment during an unexpected visit to Adebola and his mother, Mrs. Deborah Abiodun, in LASUTH’s Pediatric Ward on Sunday.
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.
It will be recalled that Deborah Abiodun, in a Safe Our Soul (SoS) statement sent via social media, pleaded with Governor Sanwo-Olu to investigate the strange disappearance of her 13-year-old son, Adebola Akin-Bright’s small intestine.
She said that the event happened when her son was being treated at LASUTH.
In response to the charges, the management of LASUTH stated that they did not willfully remove any organ or structure from Debola’s body when undergoing corrective surgery at a private hospital in Lagos.
“He (Debola) required extensive optimization in our facility before a corrective surgery could be carried out. 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 boy’s life, who has been receiving treatment at LASUTH for over a month, Governor Sanwo-Olu committed to doing everything humanly possible to save Adebola Abiodun’s life during his visit to the hospital on Sunday.
After hearing from both the child’s mother and the doctor in charge of Adebola’s case, Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that the life of the 13-year-old boy is vital, and he will take up the case.
Deborah Abiodun, Adebola’s mother, responded by thanking Governor Sanwo-Olu for the visit and for taking on the medical care of her promising young son.
