On September 26, Greatness Olorunfemi, a victim of ‘one-chance’ robbers in FCT Abuja, tragically lost her life after rejection from a hospital.
Greatness Olorunfemi was reportedly stabbed and thrown from a ‘one-chance’ vehicle. A kind stranger rushed her to Maitama General Hospital, but the nurses allegedly refused treatment without a police report. Tragically, she passed away on the Maitama-Kubwa highway.
It was a tragic day for her loved ones as she became another victim of a failed system in Nigeria.

“Greatness Olorunfemi planned to do her PhD”
Rev. Joseph Olorunfemi, the father of the late victim, spoke at a press briefing and shared that his daughter had dreams of pursuing a PhD in microbiology in the USA.
He mentioned that the decision had been made for Greatness to start in July 2024. And a day before her death, she began submitting the required documents for the relocation.
Sadly, her aspirations were abruptly ended by her untimely death.
Recall that in 2019, Moradeun, also lost her life after being denied treatment. These cases highlight the urgent need for hospitals to prioritize saving lives and provide immediate care to those in need.
