A Nigerian woman has shared a disturbing account of how a baby tragically died in a hospital due to a doctor’s delay in performing a critical procedure. According to the woman, the delay allegedly occurred after the pregnant patient refused the doctor’s inappropriate demand.
The story, which she posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), sparked outrage across the platform. She claimed that the incident happened at a hospital on Lagos Island, where a doctor reportedly asked the pregnant woman to touch his private part. When she refused, he delayed her delivery, resulting in the baby’s death.
Expressing her anger in the post, she wrote:
“The baby died because the doctor delayed the procedure all because he wanted the lady to touch his private part. Now she’s undergoing a C-section.”
She added, “This is infuriating. Hearing this from her relatives at the hospital is pissing me off.”
The post quickly went viral, drawing widespread reactions from social media users. While many expressed anger and disbelief, others called for further investigation to validate the claims. Here are a few notable responses:
@_kathiiie: “Everything works in the opposite direction in this country. Police, healthcare, education. My God.”
@don_pet: “The kind of stories coming out of Nigeria is shocking. A doctor asking a woman in labour to touch him? What does MDCN do?”
@The_UnrealG: “If the NMA demands evidence now, you’ll start crying. You keep pushing controversies for engagement.”
@joyaifuo: “If this is true, I’m willing to help raise awareness and fight for justice. Kindly share the full story and any evidence.”
@miggssghinsel: “If this is true, the hospital must be held accountable. I’ve never heard of something this wicked.”
@ochesaiki: “I don’t always believe patients or their relatives’ accounts. I’d like to hear from the doctor too. In my experience, patient stories are often twisted.”
As discussions continue to escalate online, many are calling for proper investigations to uncover the truth behind this shocking allegation.
