According to a member of the prosecution counsel: “The case of the prosecution is that the deceased patient was not in a position to be discharged when he was discharged at first. Even when the baby was brought back to the hospital, the respondent doctors were negligent in the treatment. However, the defense counsel’s position is that the respondent doctors were not negligent and that some of the medications were administered by an ENT doctor that is not one of them and that they duly discharged the baby, sincerely believing that their treatment have taken good effect.
Dr. Iyoha Joseph was accused of discharging the baby prematurely on March 11, 2013 when he did not observe and document clear indications that the baby had recovered from ailment and causing the death. He was also accused of claiming to be a specialist pediatrician when he did not have any additional qualification registered by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria .
