“One of the nurses told me that i should not worry operation has continued even without light, they had alternative(lamp or touch light)as usual. Mechanic had arrived but there are things he had to go and buy at ogbomosho area in Minna, My wife was still inside theater
“An hour later power was restored, the mechanic was still on the Gen, so operation continued. Operation that wasn't going to last for 90minutes had taken from minutes 4pm to mnts 7pm. I had waited for 11hours (8:44am minutes to 7pm) outside theater, optimistically prayering for a successful operation. Sight at my wife was a very devastating experience more devastating our ( my mum and I ) experience inside the word.
“My elder Brother has ordered me to stop posting and I have no choice than to obey, if not the remaining story is more disheartning. May we all meet in Janna firdaus.”

Reactions as man loses wife after surgery

Suleiman Musa said:

This is an act of negligence of the highest order on the part of the Dr. You don't give chances when it is a matter of Life and Death and the Dr should know better. He is supposed to have kept the Theatre Gen. on standby knowing very well that NEPA doesn't have guarantee."

Muhammad M Isah

"Her death was destined to happen even if with the light. Take heart my brother. Just pray for soul to rest in peace and for Allah to grant aljannatil fiddaus."

Yaqoob Muhammad said:

"Going through comments....it pains me when people said her death was destined to happen even if there was light. It's truly her time, but our negligence led to that which couldn't have happened if everything is in place, just saying."
