For more than four months after Agbo was delivered of a baby boy through caesarean section in a Lagos hospital, God Cures Hospital, she had yet to be discharged over a bill of N215,000. “The hospital called me that they needed N245,000 for an operation and I begged them to reduce the charge, but they said it was not negotiable. He also refused.”The Imo State indigene alleged that his siblings, who were initially visiting the baby at the hospital, stopped coming after getting threats from the hospital management over the bill. He alleged that sometime in September, he was detained by the hospital while on a visit to his girlfriend and baby. However, the hospital management denied the allegations, saying it never threatened to sell the baby to raise money for the bill.
