Lagos State University Teaching hospital has released an official statement on Mayowa Ahmed health state, according to Public Relations Officer of LUTH, Mr. Kenneth Otuneme.

He said to The Punch: “Mayowa is still with us. If the family needs a referral letter, the managing consultant would decide on that.

“If the managing consultant wants to issue a referral letter, he will. It is up to the family. I don’t know if the hospital plans to release Mayowa.

“As of Friday, I have not seen Mayowa Ahmed’s family. However, we won’t stop any family who wants to take their patient away; all they need to do is to sign a consent form.

“If a patient’s condition is critical and the family members decide to sign the consent form, stating that they no longer require her to be treated at LUTH, we will release the patient. This is the normal practice anywhere in the world.”
