It appears the condition of four year old Omonigho Abraham
who was attacked by two dogs in igando area of Lagos state in Nigeria about a
month ago has worsened in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja
(LASUTH) where he is currently receiving treatment.
His father, Mr. Odia told our reporters that Omonigho’s
scalp which was torn off by the German Shepherd dogs during the gruesome attack
had not healed and had been giving offensive odour. Odia further said that attempts
to get medical report of his condition had also been frustrated by some medical
officers in the hospital. “Infact, for up to two weeks no consultant or doctor
attended to him and his head started smelling. We have been told he may still
have to be admitted for up to six months or a year for the doctors to do a skin
grafting surgery on his open skull. They will cut skin from part of his body to
cover up the skull…” He added that he had continue to pay the bills despite the
fact that a letter was sent to to LASUTH from the Lagos State Government that
they will pay all the bills. He also said that the hospital management did not
honor the letter from Lagos State Government initially but promised to adhere
to it from this week.
Meanwhile, the Delta State Government and a few Nigerians
were interested in the medical report which is yet to be issued by LASUTH.
