Wife dies of kidney failure after husband allegedly pocketed donations meant for her treatment and took her to church instead

A young woman, who had captivated the hearts of many with her compelling story and had recently received widespread support for her medical treatment, has tragically passed away, just two months after the generous donations had been made in her honor.

Joyce Ifunanyachukwu faced complications during her pregnancy, which resulted in kidney complications. The necessary treatment, amounting to 36 million Naira, was met with the support of kind-hearted Nigerians in September.

However, the journey took a tragic turn when Sarah Ibrahim, a user on the platform who had been instrumental in raising funds for the ailing woman, returned on November 21, to announce her passing.

She alleged that the woman’s husband, upon receiving the donations, removed her from the hospital and took her to a church, where a pastor claimed he could heal her.

Sarah expressed her determination to pursue legal action against the husband and the pastor for the alleged neglect of the woman’s health.

She wrote:

“Thank you everyone

  Sadly we lost Joyce today.

The money we were donating was taken by her husband into his personal account while he took her out from the hospital and took her to a CHURCH where the pastor said they can deliver her.
They took her from the hospital to a fcking Church and were praying and giving her Agbo, for KIDNEY PROBLEM.

She’s de@d and the phone conversations and voice notes I have will not just break you but piss you off.
She literally said she was not okay and was getting worse while her husband and the pastor were claiming she has been healed and was getting better.
The Nigerian Police needs to start arresting Pastors. Enough is Enough.
We lost her today.”
