- A bereaved husband has taken to social media to seek justice over the death of his wife
- According to him, the Lagos University Teaching hospital is to be held responsible as he accused them of mishandling her situation
- She was 8 months pregnant as at the time of her death
For Tope and Esther Ajayi, what promised to be a life filled with love, happiness and many beautiful memories to be created, was cut short by death. The couple got married in December, 2016 had barely enjoyed their lives as husband and wife before she died as a result of complications from her pregnancy.
Tope Ajayi, clearly bereaved and angry at the way hospitals handled the situation, took to the social media platform to express his grievances and to also seek justice for his late wife. He narrated in details how there was gross incompetence in the various hospitals he took her to when she began to experience problems with her 8 months old pregnancy.
In a post which he later deleted, a heartbroken Tope wrote: "Oguntolu Hospital Mismanaged my wife (Ajayi Esther Adeshola) during pregnancy and this resulted in her death. - Oguntolu caused the death of my son right in her womb after 8 months of regular appointments and Antenatal. - LUTH delayed the baby evacuation which put my wife in a state of coma for up to a week before eventually giving up the ghost."

Our ordeal began on Tuesday 9th of January, My pregnant wife and I were at Oguntolu General Hospital, Somolu to complain about her having some discomfort in her stomach only to be given some dr*gs to go and use.After using the dr*gs, she began to vomit. We went back again on 11th of January, only for more dr*gs to be prescribed.
By Saturday 13th January, she was so weak that she could barely walk; this was due to serious and incessant vomiting. She had become so weak that we had to go back to the hospital (Oguntolu Hospital). All along, the vomiting did not stop.She was asked to do a blood test. She did and they claimed to have found nothing. Then she was asked to do urine test. My wife couldn’t urinate, which I guess might have been as a result of the severe weakness. So we were asked to come back the following day (14th January). Yet again, we were given another set of dr*gs.Three times between Tuesday and Saturday, we were there only to be given dr*gs.
No call for Scanning! All through the five days, we kept going and coming back, with my wife’s case getting worse. By 10:30pm, I couldn’t bear it anymore, so we had to take her to R .Jolad Hospital in Gbagada. The Doctor we met at R. Jolad immediately recommended her for admission and that a Scan be done the following morning (Sunday 14th of January). The following morning, when the result of the scan was out at around 10am, I wasn’t around in the Hospital. The R.Jolad doctor was unprofessional and undiplomatic that he announced to my wife and my mother-in-law (who had high BP) that the baby in her womb was already dead. Bearing in mind that my wife’s medical state was precarious."
