Reports by Sahara Reporters indicate that foremost businesswoman and philanthropist, Folorunsho Alakija has reportedly gone blind.
According to the newspaper, the 73-year-old billionaire, who is the chairman of Famfa Oil, developed health complications after an air mishap during a trip with her husband, Mr. Modupe Alakija.
The incident reportedly spiked her blood pressure, which led to complications resulting to sight loss.
Sources said after the scare, she ordered a new private jet to avoid flying on the same aircraft as her husband. However, her vision continued to deteriorate until she eventually became completely blind.
“She had a near air mishap with her husband on board, and her blood pressure shot up, affecting her eyes,” a source told Sahara Reporters.
“She had been experiencing vision issues for some time, but rather than seeking medical treatment, she focused on her church. Now she has completely lost her sight,”
