BREAKING NEWS 🚨
A disturbing medical controversy has rocked Ekiti State.
This is Joshua Adebayo, a teacher in Ekiti. He was involved in an accident in August 2025 and was taken to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), where doctors told him that his right kidney was damaged and needed to be removed through surgery.
Joshua said that before the surgery in October, he was passing urine normally. However, after the surgery, he could no longer pass urine.
He complained repeatedly to the hospital but, according to him, he was being played around.
Worried about his condition, Joshua went to another hospital for further tests and was told that he had no functioning kidney.
Joshua then cried out to the Ekiti State Government, alleging that the Teaching Hospital had harvested his kidney.
When contacted, the Chief Medical Director of EKSUTH said that during the surgery, doctors discovered that both kidneys were glued together, a rare medical condition. He promised Joshua free dialysis pending when he would be able to get a donor for a kidney transplant.
Following public outrage, the Ekiti State Government set up an investigation panel. After its findings:
The surgeon was dismissed with immediate effect
All members of the surgical team present in the theatre were suspended for one month
The state government agreed to bear the full cost of Joshua’s kidney transplant
The government stated that while there was no proof of organ harvesting, the case involved serious medical negligence.
