Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a nurse in the Lekki area following the death of a 36-year-old woman, identified only as Abiola.
Police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Wednesday, said the incident was reported by the driver of the deceased at the Maroko Police Division.
According to Hundeyin, the driver reported that his employer, a resident of Diamond Estate in Sangotedo-Lekki, had been driven to a clinic in Lekki Phase 1 for a cosmetic procedure—a Brazilian Butt Lift—to enhance her figure.
“Upon our arrival, the clinic owner directed a nurse to administer an injection to Abiola. Shortly after, chaos ensued as she lost consciousness and began gasping for breath,” Hundeyin said.

In a desperate attempt to save her life, the driver rushed Abiola to another hospital in Lekki Phase 1, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Hundeyin added that detectives had visited the scene to gather evidence, inspect, and photograph the body before transporting it to a public morgue for an autopsy.
He confirmed that the nurse involved has been taken into custody, and the Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, has ordered a thorough investigation into the tragic incident.
