Kemi Omotoyibo’s Death..The REAL Cause.

The sudden death of popular dancer, Kemi Omotoyinbo-Eloayi, on October 1, 2014, after being in and out of labour for several days at a private hospital in Lagos, remains a shocker to both family and friends.

Seun Omotoyinbo, the younger sister of the deceased has revealed the real cause of her death.

Beautiful Kemi is well known to have danced for several popular musicians such as Pasuma, KWAM1 and Shina Peters, but unfortunately she got married to her husband, Godwin Eloayi days before her untimely death.

Narrating what really transpired on that fateful day, Seun recalled that, “On Saturday, September 13, 2014, my sister got married at White House, Toyin Street Ikeja, Lagos. Then on Monday, September 22, she went to the hospital for checkup where the doctor told her she needed bed rest and was immediately admitted in the hospital till the day of delivery.

Before her wedding, the doctor had already informed her that she would undergo surgery and she already paid N170,000 meant to cover the hospital bills on Wednesday, October 1, 2014. My sister called me and said she wanted to give me a surprise without knowing I was getting two surprise packages from her. At about 8-9pm, our elder sister called to inform me about the safe delivery of my sister.

I requested to speak to her but was told she was still in the theatre. I decided to go to the hospital the next morning because I stay at Akoka and the General Hospital Oreke where she was, is located at Boundry, Ajegunle, Lagos. At 1am, I received a call from my elder sister saying, “Kemi just passed away”, I became mad that moment and could not sleep till dawn. Although, I did not believe my sister was gone until I got to the hospital and saw her body.”

On the real cause of her painful and as well shocking death, she said, “My sister never knew she had fibroid until she was almost due for delivery when the doctors detected it, that was why the doctor decided she would have a caesarian session because she would not have the strength for natural birth. Before her body was released to us, the hospital demanded a balance of N78,000 but one of the doctors told us not to worry about such an amount that we should pay N42,000 instead. and her husband paid immediately before her body was laid to rest at Atan Cemetery, Lagos, on Thursday, October 2, 2014. Kemi still spoke to her husband after the operation saying,

“Honey, I made it” but did not have the opportunity to carry her son because she was still weak. However, my sister had fibroid which lead to internal bleeding and unfortunately, she did not survive it.”
