The police in Lagos State have arrested a medical doctor, Idara Bassey, who was declared wanted in connection with the death of a 36-year-old woman during a buttock enlargement surgery at a clinic in Lekki Phase 1 area of the state.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, Bassey is being investigated at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti.
Bassey was reported to have fled after the client died during a buttock enlargement procedure at her clinic on August 26, 2024, following which the police declared her wanted.
The police had earlier confirmed the arrest of the nurse who administered the injection on the late 36-year-old.
The deceased had visited the clinic for the buttock enlargement procedure, which tragically ended in her death after a nurse, allegedly acting under Bassey’s orders, administered an injection.
She was said to have left her home in Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, in the Ibeju Lekki area and directed her driver to take her to the clinic for the procedure.
However, after the nurse allegedly administered the injection on the doctor’s instructions, the driver who brought Abiola to the clinic reported to the police that she lost consciousness and began gasping for breath.
