Gbagada Hospital Allegedly Swapped, Gives Dead Baby To First Time Mom

A woman on X has alleged that medical personnel in the labour ward at Gbagada General Hospital in Lagos State swapped her sister’s newborn baby with someone else’s dead baby and she shared a photo of the baby to back her claim.

The X user with the handle @Aggie_lawlaah narrated how her sister started contracting on Dec. 1 and was induced two days later when she gave birth.

Her sister’s baby was later struggling to breathe and was taken to the NICU.

Later that evening, the child’s father was called to sign a test form for the baby but the name on the form was a different one and he raised concerns.

She narrated that: “Two days later, on Dec. 5, they were told their baby had died and were given a note without a name on it.

When they got to the hospital morgue and were handed their baby, they noticed that the name plastered on the child’s body was “Adefisan baby”, whereas  their own baby was Okolie.

@Aggie_lawlaah is now calling on authorities to look into the incident, adding that her sister is traumatised because this is her first child.
