The protracted battle by the younger sister of Solomon Akukwe, Ngozi Adenuga, to secure his brother’s release from the custody of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), after being dumped by his lover, one Mariam Seidu, has taken a different dimension, as management of the Lagos university teaching hospital ( LUTH), did not obey a court order from the Federal High Court, Lagos Judicial Division to released him .
In a suit filed on 16th, July, 2020, Number FHC/L/CS/816/2020, the LUTH prayed the Court, presided over by the Judge, Hon.M.A.Ayetenu , to ignore the request of Ngozi Adenuga to release Solomon Akukwe for alternative treatment and care, sequel to which the judge moved hearing to Oct 6th, 2020.
Recall that the ensuing matter between the Akukwes and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital was occasioned by the abandonment of Solomon Akukwe at the psychiatric wing of the LUTH by his lover, Mariam Seidu since February,2020.
It is also noted that the family of the patient were denial access to see their brother for reasons best know to hospital management.
His sister ,Mrs Ngozi Adenuga had made several attempts to make sure her brother Mr Solomon was ‘released ,but LUTH, through the agency of one professor Adeyemi ( a consultant ) Co-horts , instructed by his lover one Miss Mariam Seidu, seized her brother and siphoned millions of naira from his account.
According to her ,she alleged that no treatment was given to her brother rather the LUTH delved into financial investigations by infiltrating into the account of the patient by forcing him to withdrew from bank account severally for no reasons.
However, it was shocking by his sister to find out that in a document attached to the bunch submitted to court by the LUTH , a letter was conveyed to the management of LUTH on 15th June, 2020, that the only recognised person is next of kin ,which is Mariam Seidu, not his sister, Ngozi Adenuga. Her request was contained in the letter written on her behalf by her lawyer due to her ill-health.
She expressed shock why the management still refused to released her brother, subjecting him to inhuman treatment and also accessing his account at will. Over 11 million ( Eleven million Naira) have been withdrawn from Solomon’s account since his inception as a special patient at the Lagos university teaching ( LUTH) .
Describing professor Adeyemi, LUTH’s consultant as a major accomplice in this gang up against the Akukwe’s , Ngozi stressed that his professorship, should be questioned due to his shaddy ways and his resolve to use his knowledge of the Akukwes as a tool to commit evil against their Son and the entire family, wondering how and why the LUTH management submitted family matters , matters, which included, the strange murder of their mother and brother to the court,as part of the reason for the continuous seizure of Solomon Akukwe.
Ngozi remains shocked why the LUTH and Co, became EFCC, ICPC, Nigeria Police and family Matters Advocates, all at the same time, just because they have an interest that the Federal High Court alone will soonest unravel when (Hon.M.A.Ayetenu resumes hearing in October 6th.
