A Lagos father, Samuel Alozie, is seeking justice after his nine-month-old identical twin sons, Testimony and Timothy, allegedly died 24 hours after receiving routine immunisation at a primary health care centre in Lagos.
Alozie, who shared a heartbreaking video on TikTok showing the twins’ remains in body bags, has sparked widespread outrage.
According to Alozie, the twins became weak and lethargic after receiving the injection, and despite adhering to the instructions given by the nurse at the health care centre, they died on Christmas Day, 25 December 2025.
He claimed the twins were healthy and had no prior illnesses before taking them to the centre and therefore suspects foul play.
“They were strong and sound. I took them for immunisation not because they were sick, but because it was the right thing to do.
“They were very weak after the injection. We gave them paracetamol as instructed, but nothing changed. By the next morning, both of them were gone.”
The grieving father denied claims from the primary health care centre alleging that the deaths were caused by food-related bacteria.
Expressing concern about the investigation into the issue, he said he is afraid the outcome may be manipulated, since the health care centre is a government facility.
He appealed for legal and public support, saying, “I cannot afford to pursue justice alone, and I am also scared I may not get justice. I need justice for them.”
The Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Primary Health Care Board have yet to comment on the incident or release the autopsy results.
