The Lagos State Government has established a medical panel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police, Waheed Ayilara, who passed away on August 29, 2024, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) following a surgical operation.
In response to allegations of medical negligence raised by Ayilara’s family and colleagues, the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, announced on Saturday that a panel, led by LASUTH’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabanwo, has been constituted to review the clinical events leading up to Ayilara’s death.
The panel has been given seven days to submit its report, with the investigation focusing on the events that transpired during and after the surgery, which had initially appeared to be uneventful.
