[b]By Steve Kingstone BBC News, Madrid Stella Obasanjo was considered Olusegun's official wife A Spanish doctor has been sentenced to a year in prison, for his role in the death of the former first-lady of Nigeria, Stella Obasanjo. The wife of Olusegun Obasanjo had visited a clinic in Marbella in October 2005 to undergo cosmetic surgery. She underwent liposuction to reduce the size of her abdomen, but left the operating theatre with fatal injuries. The judges said the surgeon had shown carelessness and neglect. Mrs Obasanjo, 59, came to Spain in October 2005, checking in at the Molding Clinic - a discreet and luxury facility, specialising in cosmetic surgery. The court heard that a tube used for removing fat had been placed by mistake into the patient's abdominal cavity - puncturing her colon and lacerating her liver. Mrs Obasanjo became seriously ill the following day. But prosecutors said the surgeon initially failed to answer his mobile phone, and then waited more than four hours before driving the patient in his own car to an intensive care unit, where she died an hour later. The doctor - identified in court documents only by the initials AM - was sentenced to a year's imprisonment for causing homicide through negligence. He was disqualified from practising medicine for three years, and ordered to pay $176,000 (£108,000) in compensation to Mrs Obasanjo's son. The court said simple blood tests or an ultrasound procedure would have detected the internal injuries - which, with more time, could have been treated.

Its so bad that OBJ and family are getting justice they denied so many Nigerians even in a far away country. What an irony of life!!!! |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by oge4real(f): 10:59am On Sep 22, 2009 |
It doesnt matter what she went to the hospital for. The main issue is that she lost her life due to someone's negligence and that person must be held accountable. It is sad though that such things happen in this country and the culpable doctors are not brought to book. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by deols(f): 10:59am On Sep 22, 2009 |
She should have been contented. But justice is good anyway |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by deols(f): 11:02am On Sep 22, 2009 |
oge4real:I have heard of instances where doctors are brought to book in Nigeria. I think the problem with that is people dont know such exists and dont know how to seek it |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by Nobody: 11:04am On Sep 22, 2009 |
her reasons for surgery were hers not our business But i'm glad the truth is out and the doctor has been held accountable for negligence |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by Nobody: 11:12am On Sep 22, 2009 |
no problem. |

oge4real: And when are Nigerians victimized by her and her husband will get justice?? The spanish has shown clearly how much they value Justice for all! Let the OBJ mourn of that! |

St. Edwin: But its definetely an irony of life for those who cant give justice to her citizenry to get justice. Frankly speaking,they dont deserve to get what they deny OTHERS. Life is truely UNFAIR. |

Glad the doctor was jailed, more people lives have just been saved. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by bisiaet: 11:43am On Sep 22, 2009 |
It was a pity she died. It deos not matter what she went to the hospital for a soul is lost and a right judgement was declared. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by saworoide: 11:51am On Sep 22, 2009 |
See how other countries are just showing us how to value human lives. I'm not sure the Obasanjo family pressed for any charges against the doctor but the country just showed us human live is sacred irrespective of the circumstance. OBJ should bury his head in shame as he did not even attempt to give Nigerian anything close to these justice system in his 8-year reign. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by Epi: 11:51am On Sep 22, 2009 |
Yes, the doctor should be punished. This Obasanjo was an old woman. At the age of 59 why would you want to do that to yourself?  |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by back2back(f): 12:00pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
It was a pity she died. It deos not matter what she went to the hospital for a soul is lost and a right judgement was declared. indeed. we are waiting when ODI people wiped-out by OBJ in 1999 would get justice! |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by texazzpete(m): 12:00pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
St. Edwin: What an idiot you are! Her body belonged to her, and it's her choice how she wanted to make herself look better. Besides, with OBJ's legendary womanising ways, who could blame her for wanting to look a little more beautiful, if only to re-ignite interest from her randy husband? |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by nex(m): 12:00pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
Justice comes at last and as human beings, we should appreciate it. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by back2back(f): 12:01pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
nex: and when is same justice coming for ODI-village people? |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by pappy2000: 12:03pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
Well,I think the same justice should be extended to other Nigerians.I know that thousands of Nigerian die daily as a result of poor medical equipment,I think the Nigerian government should compensate their Family. |

chosen04: Well said. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by OvieE: 12:40pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
chosen04: Maybe one day that idiot OBJ will wake up from his hell and give Nigerians the justices they deserve too. Tomb up chosen04. |

@topic this is good news |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by Nobody: 12:43pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
before anyone undertakes surgery,he or she is told there are risks involved. that was one of the risks. sad though,it was her death,or else the percentage of fatality by lipo isnt so high. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by ade2tu(m): 12:48pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
i feel that the doctor made a terrible mistake i won't blame mrs obj but at the same time the mistake as been made.im don't want to believe that was her first time.but as the say goes too much of anything is bad. |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by chosen04(f): 12:50pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
back2back: Wish the spanish govt can help us FINE HIM FOR ODI- VILLAGE PEOPLE. If our govt is still sleeping!!! |
| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by nickybayo(f): 12:52pm On Sep 22, 2009 |

| Re: Doctor Jailed For Obasanjo Death by chosen04(f): 1:02pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
OvieE: THANKS OvieE. We must make sure "these people" dont get what they deny us. 1) They children shldnt be enjoying good education abroad while ASUU is on strike. 2) While compensate OBJ and family when he is even yet to apologize to ODI people. |
