She claimed the incident occurred while her son was receiving treatment at LASUTH.
LASUTH management had in swift response to the allegations, affirmed that they did not wilfully remove any organ or structure from Akin-Bright’s body while performing a corrective surgery on him.
The victim had been previously operated on at a private hospital in Lagos but had been undergoing treatment at LASUTH for over a month.
”He, Akin-Bright, 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 said.
