A Lagos-based architect, Alfred Ogene, has filed a high-stakes lawsuit against R-Jolad Hospital Nigeria Limited, alleging gross medical negligence that he claims left him with permanent damage to his urinary system and plunged him into severe physical, emotional, and economic distress.

In a Memorandum of Claim filed through his lawyers,  Ogene is seeking over ₦800 million in damages, including compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earnings, loss of enjoyment of life, psychological trauma, and a refund of medical expenses allegedly incurred as a result of the hospital’s actions.

According to court documents,  Ogene was admitted to R-Jolad Hospital in the early hours of November 15, 2025, for the management of partial paralysis following a stroke that affected his right limbs. His lawyers maintain that before admission, he had no history of urinary dysfunction.
