Bereaved Nigerian Mom, Oyin Gucci Narrates The Horror Of Losing Her 9-Month-Old Son At A Popular Lagos Hospital | Screams For Justice
A Nigerian mother simply identified on Twitter as Oyin Gucci (@gucciOyin) has accused a doctor after her 9-month-old baby allegedly died due to his laggard attitude at the General hospital, Ikorodu, Lagos.
According to the bereaved mom, the said doctor left her son who needed urgent medical attention and other patients to go pray and as they waited she realised her son couldn’t breathe properly. Her son died hours later after she was told they couldn’t admit him as there was no bed at the hospital.
The mother took to her social media page to recount how her 9-months-old baby died without any first aid treatment at the emergency ward of the General hospital because of the attitude of the doctor on duty.
Oyin is now demanding justice and has promised to file a petition against the doctor for ”incompetency”.

Called his line it was switched off, checked his office he wasnāt there, nobody knows his where about. When he was later Found around 5am, he wasnāt emotional, no sign of emergency act through him, he wasnāt audible enough when he started asking question, no first aid treatment except from the one given from the nurse, the worst part of it was that he kept insisting he wants to go pray (as a Muslim All of this was around 5:30am cos I kept checking the time.
He wrote all what to getā¦ Ran to get them and got back. He told me to get another stuffs, went to get themā¦ During this period he was already at the mosque.. He got back around after 6 and my son was already weakā¦
He kept attending to other people (tho Iām not really against that but those people are not even emergency cases cos they were only complaining about headache or body pain).
During this period my son couldnāt breath fine again and he said he will need to transfer us to Ikeja cos thereās no bed to admit him.. to cut the long story shortā¦ I lost my son around 10am in the morningā¦ No treatment given, no first aid except from oxygen given, all items bought was wasted, no effort shown at all, even at his death bed no emotion at allā¦ Iām not writing this cos I feel I should write itā¦
I already promised the doctor Iām gonna file a petition against him for incompetencyā¦ I donāt know his name but I know they will surely search for his name through their registerā¦ He was on night shift and heās a muslimā¦ If we donāt do this,Ā they wonāt take government work serious. They feel government canāt do nothing to them thatās why they keep wasting lives
Please kindly help repost this till the government see this. Thank you. Ps: my son was just 9 month 2 days thenā¦ Iām pained right now and heart broken as well.”
