The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended Dr. Idara Bassey in connection with the death of a 36-year-old woman, Abiola, who passed away during a buttock enlargement procedure at a clinic in Lekki Phase 1.
Last week, a nurse who administered the fatal injection, reportedly on Dr. Bassey’s orders, was also arrested after Abiola’s driver alerted the Maroko Police Division. The incident occurred on August 26, 2024, when Abiola lost consciousness after the procedure.
Dr. Bassey, who had initially fled, is now under investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department. Police spokesperson SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that the charges will be determined following the ongoing investigation.
