Former first lady of Akwa Ibom state and Wife of Senate Minority Leader, Mrs. Ekaette Unoma Akpabio has returned to the country after several months of medical vacation in Europe where she underwent an intensive medical attention and major surgeries over a reported health condition which was successfully treated by doctors.
There had been series of false rumour of her death by some media houses following medical complications. A report which was discovered to be untrue. The husband, Senator Godswill Akpabio who revealed that she escaped death in an interview -confirmed that the wife had a surgery but that she is alive.
“During the cause of my wife having our children, my wife had caesarian child deliveries. Well, what we didn’t know was that for some reason there was a devastating surgical error. In sewing back my wife’s womb, some surgeon sewed up her bowels to her skin. Not just in one place but in several places. My wife took ill. During investigation, doctors discovered this surgical blunder. We were all shocked, including the doctors.
“The doctors have therefore had to conduct several surgical operations to detach and untangle my wife’s bowels from her skin. It’s been a terrible time for us and I have had to be there for her, that’s why I travel to make sure she’s ok.
“It’s therefore very hurtful when I read some of these wicked rumours on the internet. Some have even gone as far as saying the Igbos are after me and asking for their daughter back, none of this is true. People have sat down and created these stories – it’s wicked. What’s worse – the purveyors of these stories are a few disgruntled people from Akwa Ibom State”, Senator Godswill Akpabio said.
