Sister of LUTH patient drags hospital for fraud

LUTH has reacted to allegations from a female relative of a patient who claimed that staff of the hospital conspired with her brother's lover to hide him in the hospital so they can loot his money.

The woman, named Mrs. Ngozi Adenuga, earlier claimed that some medical and social workers at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) connived with her mentally unwell brother’s lover to hide him while withdrawing millions from his accounts.

Mrs. Adenuga, in a petition to the Area C Command, Surulere, alleged that all efforts by the family to take their brother, Solomon Akukwe, a former staff of Chevron, out of the hospital for proper medical attention has been met with resistance because his handlers only take instructions from his lover, Mariam Saidu, 28.

Mrs Adenuga claimed that one of Akukwe’s aides alleged that his lover moved the man to an unknown destination and was making plans to move his properties, including his cars.

She said the informant told her Saidu was also using the man’s Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) card to make alleged suspicious transactions while still at his residence in Lagos.

Adenuga alleged that her brother suffered periodic mental illness, which made them move him to a rehabilitation centre in Abuja for treatment where he met Saidu before they eloped to Lagos. Mrs Adenuga said that once in Lagos, Saidu connived with hospital staff to hide her brother and loot his property.

She said those involved in the alleged plot were her brother’s lover, Saidu, a doctor at LUTH, Prof. Adeyemi, Matron, Alhaja Lateef and the hospital’s social worker Ms. Tade.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has announced that Nigerian Para power-lifter and Paralympic gold medalist, Esther Oyema, has been banned for four years after she committed an anti-doping rule violation. 

A prohibited substance named 19-norandrosterone, was found in a urine sample she provided on January 28, 2019, after the Lagos 2019 International Para Powerlifting Competition in Nigeria.

Oyema, who won the gold at London 2012 in the women's 48kg, will now be ineligible for competition for four years from May 3, 2019 to May 2, 2023, thus missing the opportunity of Tokyo 2020.
