Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Wednesday expressed sadness over the death of Adebola Akin-Bright, the 12-year-old boy with missing intestine.

Akin-Bright, who was admitted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), died on Tuesday, and in a condolence message by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, Governor Sanwo-Olu described the death of the boy as a painful loss, not only to the deceased’s family and friends, but also to him personally and the entire state, considering the efforts made to save him.

The governor sympathised with the late Akin-Bright’s family and friends, especially his mother, Deborah Abiodun, who did all she could and went the extra mile, as a mother, to save the life of her son.

He also commended the medical team of the LASUTH, who treated Akin-Bright for several months and gave him the best medical care before he died on Tuesday evening.
