There is serious allegation by a teacher Afolayan Joshua Adebayo Against the management of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital as he accused the medics of illegally harvested his kidney during a surgery .
Afolayan,at a press briefing explained that he had an accident in August, 2025 and after visiting the hospital he was told that one of his kindly was affected.
According to him, the results of multiple scans carried out including UCH, Ibadan, Oyo State confirmed that the right kidney has been damaged but the left kidney is very fine.
However, during a surgery to remove the faulty kidney so as to protect other organs, Afolayan alleged that he still urinated five minutes to the surgery but since the exercise in October, he has not been able to pass urine again .
He noted that all efforts to get explanations from the hospital proved abortive as they continued to play him around.
Afolayan added that on a second thought, he decided to visit another facility for scanning only to discover that he has been living without a kidney since the operation.
He called on the government to carry out thorough investigation and save his life as he has continued to live in pain.
When contacted, the Chief Medical Director of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Professor Kayode Olabanji said the allegation was not true.
According to him, the hospital is committed to the life of every patient and would not engage in any act that could jeopardise such foresight.
The CMD explained that the patient had a structural problem with his kidney which requires it to be received so as not to damage the other but during the surgery it was discovered that both kidneys were glued to each other.
He explained that the consultant who handled the case is a well trained professional adding that the hospital does not carry out transplant hence the allegation of selling his organ is baseless.
Professor Olabanji who said he was touched by the case of the young man promised that the hospital would support him with free dialysis pending the time he is able to get a donor for transplant.
