“I Hate This Country So Much” — Ifunanya Nwangene’s Brother Recounts How She Died After Snake Bite in Abuja

Ifunanya Nwangene’s brother has narrated how his talented sister di£d. Emy Kaybaba, brother to Nanyah, stated that she called him at 8:30am on Saturday, Jan. 31, to tell him she had been sleeping when she felt pain and woke up to see a snake.

She immediately tied a tourniquet to prevent the venom from spreading.

He added that she told him she was taking herself to the hospital and he stayed on the phone with her all through.

The first hospital in Lugbe, Abuja, said they didn’t have anti-venom so she went to another hospital where they untied the tourniquet, not minding Nanyah’s protest

Emy Kaybaba said he was on the phone with her and she told him the hospital staff had untied the tourniquet and was giving her drip. When she complained about the removal of the torniquet, they asked her to calm down.

He said at that point, his sister stopped speaking well, so he ended the call just as an uncle in Abuja arrived at the hospital to be with Nanyah.

Nanyah’s condition immediately deteriorated and she di£d just a few minutes later.

Kaybaba accused the hospital of negligence as he mourned his sister. He stated that the hospital is now claiming his sister was not speaking well when she came in. He slammed that as a lie and stated that she came into the hospital by herself and was speaking clearly to him on the phone.

He said she even did a video showing the hospital administering drip and sent to him, which he shared as he continued to slam the hospital.
