 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

LUTH, SCFN INTRODUCE BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT TO CURE SICKLE CELL DISEASE IN NIGERIA


The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) and the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria (SCFN) have joined forces to introduce a bone marrow transplant program aimed at curing sickle cell disease in Nigeria.


In a statement signed by the Chief Medical Director of LUTH, Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, and the National Director of SCFN, Dr. Annette Akinsete, they emphasized the urgent need for the program.


According to the statement,“Recognising the gaps in care for individuals affected by the disease in Nigeria, SCFN and LUTH established a bone marrow transplant programme at LUTH.” 


The program includes comprehensive care programs such as newborn screening, penicillin prophylaxis, and Transcranial Doppler screening in children to identify those at risk of stroke.


The statement also noted that the first patients have started undergoing bone marrow transplants at LUTH, receiving treatment to prepare them for the infusion of bone marrow stem cells harvested from family donors.


It stated that, “They received a treatment regimen of exchange blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and anti-infective prophylaxis to prepare them for the infusion of bone marrow stem cells harvested from family donors.”


The stem cell infusions took place on September 17 and September 19, 2024. Currently, both patients are receiving immediate post-transplant care within the transplant unit at LUTH.


Sickle cell disease is a major health challenge in Nigeria, leading to life-threatening complications, organ damage, and reduced life expectancy for those affected. However, with this initiative of LUTH and SCFN, a medical breakthrough is in sight for patients of the disease in Nigeria
