Billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist Folorunsho Alakija has reportedly lost her sight completely.
According to Sahara Reporters, the 73-year-old was said to be travelling with her husband, Modupe Alakija, chairman of Famfa Oil, when she developed health complications after an air mishap.
The incident had spiked her blood pressure, which led to complications resulting to sight lost.
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”.
