Adebola Akin-Bright, the 12 years old boy with missing intestines, has died.
Adebola died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) on Tuesday evening after developing complications.
His death has since been confirmed by his mother, Abiodun Deborah.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had, few days ago, visited Adebola and pledged to pay for his medical expenses.
The boy’s mother had pleaded with the governor to probe the disappearance of her son’s small intestines, which according to her, occurred while the boy was receiving treatment at LASUTH.
The hospital management denied the allegation.
The Lagos State House of Assembly had said that anyone who is found culpable in the case of the missing intestine of Adebola Akin-Bright would be prosecuted in due course after a visit to the boy by an Adhoc Committee of the House shortly before his death.
A few hours before he passed, the Lagos State House of Assembly had on Tuesday called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to direct the Ministry of Health to release funds for his overseas treatment.
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, Hon. Adams said members of the ad-hoc committee visited the boy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) on Tuesday.
