| Falilat and Kayode |
The father of a newborn baby, Kayode
Alatise, caused a stir at the Otunba Tunwase National Paediatric Centre,
Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, on Wednesday over the alleged “disappearance” of
his baby’s placenta.
Alatise alleged that the hospital
management told him on Monday when his....
wife, Falilat, delivered their
first baby that the placenta was missing.
He caused commotion as he threatened doctors and nurses at the centre located along the Sagamu-Benin Expressway.
The father of the baby insisted that
neither him nor his wife was given the baby’s placenta, adding he
rejected the placenta the hospital later attempted to return to him
because he was not sure it was actually his baby’s own.
The Deputy Medical Director and
Consultant Gynaecologist/Obstetrician, Dr. Oladayo Ogunlaja, who took
delivery of the baby, denied the allegation that any placenta got
missing.
Ogunlaja said the placenta was only
mistakenly taken into the hospital’s laundry by the cleaning attendant
who cleared out the Operating Room after Alatise’s wife was delivered of
the baby.
He added that if Alatise was not sure
that the placenta given to him was his baby’s, he could do a scientific
test to prove its genuineness.
