Doctors at the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, are still battling to save the life of Feyi
Agagu, the son of the late governor, who was involved in the crash. He
was moved to a new ward on Friday for privacy.
P.M.NEWS undercover reporter observed
as Feyi was earlier Friday being moved from the surgical emergency ward in
LASUTH to the more comfortable Bola Ahmed Tinubu ward where he would have a
better chance of survival.
Doctors who spoke with PM News on
condition of anonymity all confirmed that Agagu’s son would receive better
medical attention at the new ward which boasts of more medical personnel and
state-of-the-art equipment.
“There are more staff there, more
modern equipment and they will be able to monitor him every minute. He has a
better chance of survival there,” a doctor said pleading not to be quoted
because she is not authorised to speak with reporters.
Our undercover reporter observed that
Feyi was not unconscious and could recognise family members and friends who
were in the hospital today.
But he was weak, did not speak and
seemed to be under pains. He tried painfully to make a sign to his relatives
but his hand came down almost immediately.
Feyi was among the lucky seven
survivors who are receiving treatment in three hospitals in Lagos.
Five of those who are receiving
treatment are in LASUTH while one is at the Airforce medical centre and the
other is in Gbagada General Hospital, said Lagos State Commissioner for Health,
Dr. Jide Idris, who visited the survivors on Friday morning.
Idris said he was satisfied with the
level of attention the patients were receiving.
He said one of the survivors had a
surgery on Thursday night and three were doing well and one is in critical
condition.
