Tragic Outcome for Osun Woman Who Chose Cash Over Surgery

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a woman from Ede, Osun State, identified as Mrs. Folakemi, has passed away after declining a free operation to remove her debilitating goitre in favor of N300,000 cash.

Mrs. Folakemi, who had long suffered from the condition, was offered free medical treatment by a compassionate medical team. However, she opted to receive the raised funds instead of undergoing the surgery.

Upon returning to her village in Osun, Mrs. Folakemi hoped for government assistance after her story garnered attention through a viral video. Despite promises of support, no aid was forthcoming.

An NGO director intervened in an attempt to persuade Mrs. Folakemi to prioritize her health and undergo the surgery. Tragically, the operation did not go as planned, resulting in her untimely death.

This serves as a poignant reminder of the critical importance of seeking proper medical care and making informed decisions about one’s health. The community mourns the loss of Mrs. Folakemi, may she rest in peace.
