He said, “ She developed a urinary problem and we suspected that her kidneys were affected. You know she and the male corps member were trapped in the rubble for about eight hours before they were rescued.
That could have led to the problem. So, we decided to transfer her to the UNTH, Port Harcourt, for further treatment. Her case was bad , but we didn ’ t expect her to die . She survived the surgery on Sunday , but died on Wednesday . ”
