Victim of missing intestines complications, Late Adebola Akin-Bright
Arrangements were in top gear to transfer the late Adebola Akin-Bright to Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK before he passed away, the management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, has said.
According to LASUTH, Akin-Bright’s small intestine was discovered to be missing when he was brought to the hospital for correctional surgery.
13-year-old Akin-Bright reportedly developed complications on Tuesday evening, September 19, and was rushed to the intensive care unit of the LASUTH, where he was thereafter pronounced dead.
In a statement on Wednesday, the hospital management commiserated with Akin-Bright’s family and expressed optimism that the appropriate professional body would step in to unravel the circumstances surrounding his death.
The statement read: “Suffice it to say that arrangements to transfer Akin-Bright to the reputable Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK had been carried to the final stages by the hospital management before he passed on yesterday.
“We are hopeful that the appropriate professional body will eventually step in to unravel the circumstances of Akin-Bright’s death.” (The Nation)
