Widow Alleges Influencers Charged Over N7m but Husband Dies Awaiting Kidney Transplant
A Nigerian widow has shared a tragic account of her late husband’s struggle with kidney failure. He needed N45 million for a transplant, and she reached out to prominent social media influencers and philanthropists for help. She says she paid more than N7 million in fees—N5 million to Tacha, N1 million to King Mitchy, and N750,000 to Maryann—through intermediaries just to have them share his story. Despite the posts, the donations fell far short of what was needed, and her husband passed away without the transplant. She stresses that every payment was made together with her husband and driven by hope. Now she is speaking out to caution others about the risks of paying influencers in an emergency. The named influencers have publicly denied receiving any payment, according to reports.
