EKSUTH Investigates Alleged Kidney Harvesting Incident

Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) has established a 7-member panel, led by Dr. Adedamola Dada, to probe the alleged kidney harvesting incident involving patient Joshua Afolayan. Afolayan, an Ekiti State government employee, reported kidney damage after an accident in August 2025.

The hospital assures the public of a thorough investigation.
