The Police have discovered an illegal hospital operated by a Ghanaian in Mafoluku area of Lagos State.
The man who claimed he came into Nigeria as a nursing tutor in 1982, established the hospital 14 years after.
Upon interrogation, the consultant and operator Hayfore Adu – Peprah,
who says he is suffering from hypertension, diabetes and kidney disease
could not provide the certificate he claimed to have obtained before
operating the private home.
A family member of a victim who lost her baby in this hospital narrates
his ordeal, he explained that in September his relative came to the
nursing home due to swollen legs, she met one of the nurses on ground as
the doctor was not available.
“The nurse asked her to go for another scan which she did when she came
back one of the nurses directed her to go to a general hospital when she
got there she spent two days there before they transferred her to
Ayinke House Ikeja.
“Two weeks later I came back here to ask the doctor what happened, he
said that he knew the baby (of his relative) had died in her womb for 2
weeks but didn’t know how to tell her”.
The operator, however, denied his alleged title as a medical doctor for the nursing home.
