According to family sources, the boy developed complications and was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital where he was thereafter pronounced dead on Tuesday evening.
The Lagos State House of Assembly had earlier on Tuesday, called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to direct the Ministry of Health to release funds for the overseas treatment of the boy.
The Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, while presiding over the day's plenary, moved that the boy needed urgent treatment abroad.
The House also called for the immediate arrest of the doctor of the private hospital, Obitoks Medical Centre in the Alimosho area of the state, who performed the initial surgery while investigations continue.
