Many Nigerians are still reacting to the death of a pregnant woman who was allegedly denied treatment at a hospital.

The death of the pregnant woman had sparked outrage among Nigerians, who said life should not have been lost over N500k.

Akinbobola Akintunde Folajimi, the woman's husband, had alleged that he was asked to bring N500k, which he could not afford.

He said:

"The doctor told me to deposit 500k and I begged him to start doing whatever is needed to save my wife. We needed emergency support while I run around for the money but they drove us out like they don't care. Unfortunately blindly rejected us and asked me to take her to general hospital at Epe. Even the doctor knows that Epe from Lakwe is way too far for such her condition. Before we rushed her to Epe, she was gone."

However, the hospital had debunked his claims, stating that such an amount was not demanded.

Igoh, on her Facebook page, shared how she planned for her children’s delivery as she slammed the man for not being prepared for delivery.

She said:

“I don't want to sound insensitive right now. But sebi una see husband wey dey video him pregnant wife as the woman dey weak. 2 lives gone!! .

These are hospitals we had done our homework of their CS fees and Virgina delivery fee.
