Popular Dancer Kemi Omotoyinbo Dies During Child Birth

 Popular dancer kemi Omotoyinbo who got married on the 13th of September, 2014 at White House Event Hall, Toyin Street, Ikeja has passed on. Kemi who is a popular face in Pasuma’s music videos and has also danced for the likes of Shina Peters and K1 gave up the ghost while trying to give birth yesterday, October 1^st in a Lagos private hospital.


According to her friends, Kemi was in and out of labour for several days in a private hospital and when she couldn't give birth the natural way, doctors said she would have to do a C&S. The doctors told her the operation would cost N450k and demanded an initial deposit of N300k before they do it.

According to Kemi's friends, the husband couldn't come up with the money immediately but beggedthe hospital to carry on with the operation that he would pay the next day (October 1st) but the hospital insisted on the deposit and refused to carry out the operation. Sadly, Kemi passed away last night.

How one of her friends told the story of what happened to Kemi

"Kemi wouldn’t have died if the doctors did pay attention to her. She was in labour for several days and was asked to pay certain amount of money before she could be operated upon. The truth is that Kemi was in labour for over one week. She tried in vain to give birth the normal way but the baby just didn’t come.

Eventually the doctor told her she would have to go through C&S. It was termed emergency C&S. The hospital told her husband that they would have to pay a sum of 450,000 for her to be operated upon. He also said that before anything could be done they would have to make a deposit of 300,000. The husband made several efforts to raise 300,000 but deposited all he had. He begged the doctors to please go ahead with the operation and would pay before the next day. That was on October 1st , the night she died."

"Kemi's husband said he would pay the money the next day but the doctor refused and stated categorically that he would not move an inch else he pays 300,000. It was at that point Kemi decided to forward messages to people she knows so she could get help. She got responses that money would be made available to her the next day. On hearing that the husband went to beg the doctors again, still they refused. No bank was opened and nothing could be done until Thursday October 2nd but unfortunately she gave up the ghost that night. My point is, the doctors knew she had to go through emergency C&S. they could have savedher life and get the money later.  Nigeria is a very bad country I must confess." one of her friends said

 

Her friends say Kemi would have survived the operation the doctors meant to carry out on her, since she couldn’t give birth the normal way, if only they had operated on her on time. According to them, the doctors charged N450,000 for the operation but demanded an initial deposit of N300,000 which her husband couldn’t provide instantly, and that was where the problem started.

Her husband begged the doctors to carry on with the operation that he would pay the money the next day, and Kemi even sent out text messages to friends to come to her aide, but all that fell on deaf ears as the doctors insisted on getting N300,000 before the operation.
