- The Speaker’s statement follows a preliminary report by Majority Leader Hon. Noheem Adams, detailing the findings of a five-man ad-hoc committee investigating the boy’s intestine disappearance
- Adams reported that the ad-hoc committee visited the boy at LASUTH on Tuesday
Adebola Akin-Bright, the youngster whose intensine vanished after surgery and for which the Lagos Assembly urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to order the release of funds for his treatment abroad, passed only a few hours after that request.
He reportedly passed away on Tuesday night after experiencing problems.
According to reports, he was taken seriously and later declared dead in the intensive care unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
Recall that earlier on Tuesday, the Lagos State House of Assembly pleaded with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to instruct the Ministry of Health to provide funding for the boy’s treatment abroad.
Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, while presiding over the day’s plenary, moved that Master Akin-Bright needed urgent treatment abroad.
Obasa and the House also called for the immediate arrest of the doctor of the private hospital, Obitoks Medical Centre in the Alimosho area of the state, who performed the initial surgery that led to the missing small intestine while investigations continue.
The Speaker’s position followed a preliminary report by the Majority Leader, Hon. Noheem Adams, who briefed the House on the findings of a five-man ad-hoc committee created to investigate the circumstances that led to the disappearance of the boy’s intestine.
Giving the preliminary report, Adams said members of the ad-hoc committee visited the boy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) on Tuesday.
Adams, who chaired the committee, said that the full report would soon be presented, adding that some shocking discoveries were made in the course of its investigations.
