According to Madu, Sunshine had been complaining of stomach pain, which later became severe, forcing them to visit a hospital.
He explained that she was admitted at Orchid General Hospital, Eti-Osa, Lagos, where she was only given pain relief.
The content creator added that she was admitted on January 1, and when he visited her the next day, he noticed she was not properly attended to and was only placed on pain relief.
He said they later went for scans, which revealed that she had a very large fibroid.

According to him, the operation was successful, but she later developed complications and sadly passed on.
