Uju Nsodum, a skincare vendor whose four children are now motherless, lost her life on October 31 due to complications from a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure she underwent at Elysian Sculpt, a plastic surgery clinic in Lagos State owned by Adeyemo Akintunde Nifemi, a week earlier.
Shantal Reuben, Nsodum’s sister, said that her family was unaware she was undergoing the procedure until it got out of hand.
“The facility is not answering us. Nifemi doesn’t talk. And I don’t even know who to ask all the questions I have and I believe he is the only one who could answer me,” Reuben told FIJ on November 8.
“I want to fight Nifemi and his hospital with all my energy. I don’t want another person to die there. My sister should be the last person to fall victim. The incident is heavy on us. My dad has been in and out of the hospital since then. We have been unable to bury our daughter.”
According to Reuben, a doctor had earlier found Nsodum unsuitable for the procedure because of insufficient blood level. But she had no idea what made Elysian Sculpt to decide she was ready for it. Reuben added that the deceased said it was Nifemi who performed her surgery.
