Two
medical doctors are expected to face the full wrath of the law after they
forgot a towel in the stomach of a patient after a surgical operation leading
to the patient’s death. PM News reports that Dr Taiwo Shogunle and Dr. Adeleke
Olusegun worked at St. Raphael Divine Mercy Specialist Hospital at Ijede,
Ikorodu in Lagos, where they carried out the operation on one Omojola Bamgboye.
They were arraigned before an Igbosere magistrates’ court on a one count charge
of murder. Supol Eshiet Eshiet who is the police prosecutor told the court that
the doctors in an act of negligence killed Bamgboye after forgetting a towel in
his abdomen. He quoted that the offence is punishable under section 222(2) of
the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. The doctors however denied the
allegation and were granted bail in the sum of N500,000 each with two sureties
each in like sum by the presiding magistrate, A.T. Omoyele.
