Music star Ifunanya not killed by snake, Nigeria happened to her – Atiku’s aide, Ibe

Paul Ibe, a media aide for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has expressed his frustration over the death of rising Nigerian musician Ifunanya Nwangene, attributing it to the country’s inadequate healthcare facilities. Nwangene, a 26-year-old soprano singer from Abuja associated with the Amemuso Choir, tragically passed away at the Federal Medical Centre after being bitten by a snake.

In a statement shared on his official X handle, Ibe criticized the lack of essential medical supplies in public hospitals, particularly noting the absence of snake antivenom in a city recognized for its high snakebite incidents. He emphasized the irony that while there is an ample supply of anti-opposition materials, critical resources for treating snakebites are lacking.

Ibe’s comments highlight broader concerns about Nigeria’s healthcare system, particularly the challenges faced by citizens in emergency situations. The death of Nwangene raises questions about the preparedness of medical facilities in a region where such incidents are common. Ibe’s remarks underscore a sentiment that the systemic failures in healthcare contribute to the loss of lives that could potentially be saved with proper resources and infrastructure.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing issues within Nigeria’s healthcare system, advocating for better preparedness and resource allocation to address preventable deaths.
