The chairman of the Lagos Assembly’s ad-hoc committee tasked with investigating the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Adebola Akin-Bright’s small intestine, Noheem Adams, has disclosed that the doctor who performed two surgeries on the boy is not a qualified surgeon.

In response to this revelation, Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, during a plenary session on Thursday, instructed the Clerk, Olalekan Onafeko, to write to the State Police Command for the arrest of Dr. Abayomi Baiyewu of Obitoks Hospital in the Alimosho area of Lagos.

While expressing gratitude to Governor Sanwo-Olu for his support during the boy’s treatment at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Obasa directed that a letter conveying the House’s condolences be sent to the family.

Obasa also tasked the committee with investigating other aspects, including inviting officials from the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA), which has the legal responsibility to monitor private hospitals in the state. Additionally, he called for a review of existing laws to determine whether they should be amended, suggesting that private hospitals should be required to regularly report their activities to the government.

Announcing Adebola’s passing, Adams described the case as “heartbreaking.” He recounted that during the committee’s visit on Tuesday, the boy was still able to communicate with the lawmakers.

However, during the investigation, the committee learned from Dr. Baiyewu that he was not a qualified surgeon but relied on his experience as a medical doctor. Baiyewu admitted that he did not conduct a medical examination on the boy before the first surgery, which he performed himself. Instead, he relied on a report from the hospital where the patient was initially taken.

Noheem explained that after the first surgery, the boy continued to experience abdominal pain and was readmitted to Obitoks Hospital, where Baiyewu performed another surgery. As complications persisted, the boy was eventually taken to LASUTH, where it was confirmed that part of his intestine was missing.

Noheem revealed that Baiyewu failed to send the excised body part for testing in a pathological department, claiming it was mistakenly discarded. The doctor had also planned to perform a third surgery before the boy was transferred to LASUTH.

The House expressed its condolences to the grieving family, with Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda calling for the hospital’s closure.

Lawmaker Lawal Aina, another committee member, described the situation as heart-wrenching when they visited Adebola at the hospital. He revealed that upon further investigation, it was evident that Dr. Baiyewu was not a certified surgeon.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has questioned the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) third-place match, despite Nigeria defeating Egypt on penalties to secure bronze at the 2025 tournament in Morocco.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Nigeria claimed third place after a 4-2 shootout victory over Egypt, but Iwobi argued that the fixture holds limited significance, especially so soon after the disappointment of their semi-final exit.

The Fulham midfielder was a key figure throughout the tournament, starting every match except Nigeria’s group-stage game against Uganda. He contributed two assists in six appearances and was central to much of the team’s attacking play. In Saturday’s third-place playoff, Iwobi came off the bench in the final 25 minutes and calmly converted the decisive penalty to clinch victory.

Reflecting on the game, he admitted the mental strain on the squad following their semi-final loss to hosts Morocco.

“We were surrounded by doubts after not making it to the World Cup,” Iwobi told beIN SPORTS.
“We wanted to win gold but ended up finishing third. The match was mentally tough because it’s hard for any player to forget the pain of losing in the semi-finals. I also don’t agree with having a third-place match, but in the end, we managed to win it.”

Iwobi also praised the quality of the Egyptian team, highlighting Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, both of whom had their penalties saved by Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

“The Egyptian team played well, and we studied videos to prepare. Morocco is a beautiful country with great stadiums and hotels. I enjoyed the welcome and visiting Marrakech; everything was impressive,” he added.

Nigeria’s bronze finish rounded off a strong campaign, though the team fell short of its ultimate goal. Forward Ademola Lookman echoed Iwobi’s sentiments, noting that the squad came to Morocco with one clear objective: gold.

“Everyone wanted the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen,” Lookman said.
“We leave the tournament with bronze, and that is enough.”

Lookman was Nigeria’s most productive player at AFCON 2025, scoring three goals and providing four assists, the tournament’s highest combined total, putting him in contention for a spot in the official Team of the Tournament.

Prior to their semi-final loss to Morocco, Nigeria had been the only unbeaten team in the competition, winning all five of their matches. The dramatic penalty shootout defeat ended their flawless run and denied the three-time African champions a spot in the final.

“Destiny went to rest. After his child’s naming ceremony, about four days later, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who traditionally initiated him. The sickness caught up with him there, causing him to collapse. We immediately took him to the hospital. Oba Edu kept supporting us, sending money even as he was transferred to other hospitals. When we realized the sickness was persistent, we decided on traditional care, and Oba Edu guided us personally,” she said.
