SaharaReporters confirmed from medical professionals at the Nizamiye
Hospital in Abuja that Stella Oduah’s son, Maxwell Omabuwa Chinedu
Etoromi, died after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
According to doctors who spoke with SaharaReporters, anonymously Mr.
Etoromi was admitted into their care from another hospital-Zankli
Medical Centre-, but died almost promptly. “He was brought to us with
the request that we admit him, and we said, why not?” one of the doctors
told our correspondent. He added: “Despite our best efforts he died in
our care just 30 minutes after we admitted him. We could not do anything
to revive him because he arrived in a coma. We tried cardiac life
support, but it was too late by the time he arrived.”
Another doctor who spoke to SaharaReporters said Mr. Etoromi arrived
at their health facility with a “subarachnoid hemorrhage” on Thursday
evening around 6PM and was already in the worst stage of coma possible,
he died some 30 minutes later. Subarachnoid hemorrhaging can have
several causes, including a traumatic head injury, a bleeding disorder,
or the incorrect use of blood thinning medication.
The medical doctors who spoke with a correspondent of SaharaReporters
said they were in no position to immediately declare the cause of Mr.
Etoromi’s death, but said they just issued a death certificate in which
they reported that that he had significant hemorrhaging.
A source close to Ms. Oduah, a former Minister of Aviation and
current senator representing Anambra State, told SaharaReporters that
Mr. Etoromi had been given the wrong kind of medication after he had his
tooth pulled at another hospital creating complications that ultimately
led to his death.
