Lagos State Ministry of Health Spokesperson Adeola Salako while commenting on the incident, told reporters that the Government is looking into the case.

Advice was giving to all pregnant women in the state to shun patronizing quacks for their antenatal as doing so could lead to infant and maternal deaths just as witnessed in Ikorodu.

Government officials visited the General Hospital where they confirmed the incident before visiting Oyekanmi Maternity Center, which was described as a room apartment in Odogunyan area. The sealing off was carried out by the officials of the Health Facility Accreditation And Monitory Agency.


Like any other criminal cases, the incident is now handed over to the Police Criminal Department by the Lagos State Government.
