Lagos Assembly Urges Police Commissioner To Arrest Doctor In Missing Intestine Case....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

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.

Adebola tragically passed away on Tuesday shortly after the House had called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to provide further assistance to the patient in seeking treatment abroad.
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.
Several lawmakers recommended filing a formal complaint against Dr. Baiyewu with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, while others called for more stringent monitoring of medical doctors and hospitals.
