A Nigerian woman has recounted a disturbing incident where a baby died in a hospital because a doctor delayed a procedure after the expectant mother rejected his inappropriate advance.
She shared this story on her social media account on X (formerly Twitter).
Her account has caused a wave of anger online, claiming that at a hospital on Lagos Island, a doctor postponed the woman’s delivery after he asked her to touch him inappropriately, which she declined.
She said: “The baby died because the doctor delayed the procedure all because he wanted the lady to touch his private part. Now she’s undergoing a C-section.”
“This is annoying. I am pissed. Hearing the story from her relatives here at the hospital is pissing me off.”
“Lagos Island Maternity Hospital: A doctor just told a pregnant woman to touch his private part. A woman who came to deliver a baby.”
As the post went viral, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to express their thoughts.
