Medical sources have been consulted following reports that Nigeria’s wealthiest woman, Folorunsho Alakija, has gone blind and is currently receiving treatment.
According to sources, Alakija lost her vision after experiencing a near air mishap that left her deeply shaken.
Reports from SaharaReporters indicate that the billionaire businesswoman and her husband, Modupe Alakija, Chairman of Famfa Oil, were onboard a flight when the incident occurred, leading to a significant spike in her blood pressure.
Although she later changed her flight, it is alleged that she lost her sight due to the aftermath of the distressing experience.
A source quoted by SaharaReporters stated:
“She had a near air mishap while traveling with her husband, which reportedly caused her blood pressure to rise, affecting her eyesight. She had been struggling with vision problems but, rather than seeking medical treatment, she chose to establish a church to help others. Now, she has completely lost her sight.”
