“Today makes it two weeks since we laid my beloved husband, Mr John Okafor, (Mr. Ibu) to rest. This period has been challenging to me and my family. From the moment my husband’s illness began, it was a difficult journey filled with numerous hospital visits.
“As his condition worsened, we faced countless sleepless nights, hoping and praying for a miracle. An overwhelming sense of fear and uncertainty replaced the love and laughter he brought into our lives. Despite our best efforts and the dedication of his medical team, we lost him to the cold hands of death.”
