A 50-year-old woman, Adenike Adewusi Adewunmi, has reportedly died of pregnancy complications after trying for 20 years to conceive.
Adenike, who had been waiting for the fruit of the womb for two decades, finally became pregnant, but unfortunately died in the process of pregnancy.
She reportedly complained of shortness of breath on Friday morning, April 13th, and died before she could be hospitalized.
Friends have since taken to social media to mourn the deceased, whom many described as a boisterous woman who was always spreading love.
A close friend of the deceased wrote on Facebook:
“I have seen her everywhere, 33 of my friends know her and I have looked at her over and over but cant recall meeting her at any point in my life. She waited for 20 years for a miracle child and just days to beholding the day of glory she exits.
She was said to have developed pre-eclampsia and complained of short breath. She still posted yesterday..
I have questions but no answers. My heart is very heavy. My prayer is that the Lord will receive her soul and make her rest in peace. To everyone grieving right now…may the Lord comfort everyone.
Goodnight sister Adenike Adewunmi-Adebisi”.
Another friend, Rita Egwu wrote,
“All Adenike Adewunmi Adewusi, owner of nikkiworld blog wanted was a child of her own. For 20 years she waited . She finally got pregnant. This morning she complained of shortness of breath and died before she could get to the hospital.”
“Her plan was to celebrate the birth of the baby with her 50th birthday later this year. May her very gentle soul rest in peace. Survived by sister, Adejoke and Toba.”
