The Ogun State Police Command is searching for Saba Elizabeth, a patient at the Federal Medical Center, Idi Aba, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The patient reportedly fled on Saturday after being treated at a medical center for an undisclosed illness because he was unable to pay his medical bills.
She was admitted to the medical center's gynecology ward on November 11, 2023, and was scheduled to be discharged on November 16, 2023, according to reports.
However, she could not be discharged from the hospital because she could not meet her financial obligations to the medical institution.
She allegedly lied to hospital staff, saying she went to a local store to buy food after learning she couldn't pay her medical bills, but did not return to the hospital.
According to reports, the medical center's chief security officer, Akposi Joshua, reported the matter to Kemta Police Station on Sunday after efforts to trace her failed.
State Police Public Relations Officer Omolola Odutola told reporters on Tuesday that police in Kemta district were assisting the hospital in locating the patient.
“We are conducting an investigation to determine her whereabouts through her family,” she said.
