Falana Calls For Probe Into Death Of 12-Year-Old With Missing Intestine In Lagos

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has called for an investigation into the death of the 12-year-old boy whose intestine was removed in Lagos.

This online media platform recalls that the deceased identified as Adebola Akin-Bright died on Wednesday.

His death was confirmed by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) on the institution’s official X account.

Akin-Bright’s ordeal became public knowledge after Deborah Abiodun, his mother, disclosed his predicament in a viral video.

Abiodun said the boy had undergone surgery after he was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix at a private hospital in Ile Epo, Lagos.

However, it was later discovered that the boy’s intestines were missing.

In a letter on Friday, the Falana and Falana’s Chambers requested the Lagos State Commissioner of Police to unravel the mystery behind the matter.

According to the letter signed by Barr. Taiwo Olawanle, Falana’s Chamber said their attention was drawn to the boy’s death and urged the authorities to unravel the circumstances leading to the boy’s death.

The letter reads: “Our attention has just been drawn to the untimely but avoidable death of Master Adebola Akin-Bright, who developed complications arising from a surgery conducted on him at a private hospital in Lagos a few weeks ago.

“You would recall that the mother of the deceased boy, Mrs Deborah Abiodun, had on September 1, 2023, alleged the disappearance of her child’s small intestine during his treatment at the said private hospital.

“Having regard to the circumstances surrounding this avoidable death, we are compelled to humbly request that you invoke your power as enshrined under the Police Act to investigate and unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of this young, promising boy.”
