The condition of Ganiyat Sanni, the 17 year old girl who is in need of a transplant due to her kidney failure problem, is in critical condition.

Her mother, Mrs Sanni Iyabo Afusat, speaking with THE IMPACT on phone, stated that her condition is critical, stating that her neck has swelled up.
According to her, Ganiyat’s condition necessitated the prescription of dialysis and several tests by the doctor attending to her.
“Ganiyat’s neck has swelled up. She was almost admitted at LASUTH on Friday, but for her doctor who advised dialysis and several tests”.
