Dr. Ayelaje Joseph, a Lagos-based doctor and Managing Director of Holyfill Hospital, has been accused of allegedly performing a hysterectomy on Mrs. Okeafor Suzan without her consent. Suzan visited the hospital in Ikorodu for fibroid removal but discovered later that her womb had been removed without her permission.

In an exclusive interview with Vanguard Live, Suzan, a distressed mother of two, recounted the events beginning February 16, 2024, when she sought consultation with Dr. Joseph at Holyfill Hospital.
