Famous9ja News reports that Nollywood actor Lekan Olatunji has emotionally recounted how he emptied his bank account and sold his two cars at low prices in a desperate attempt to save his wife, Wunmi, during her battle with cancer.
Speaking during an appearance on the “Talk to B” show with actress Biola Bayo, Olatunji revealed that he was unaware of his wife’s condition until a medical checkup revealed the cancer had spread to her spinal cord. Despite all efforts, including selling his cars and exhausting his savings, he was unable to raise enough funds before her passing.
He said: “When we came to Lagos for the checkup, we didn’t even see any Nigerian; they were like apprentices there.
“Indians were the ones operating the machines.
“From there, we were given the result, and when we saw the result, it was cancer.
“But instead of reacting in her body, it hit her spinal cord.
“That was why she couldn’t walk again.
“Cancer of the breast, she just had something little there, but it wasn’t hurting her.
“When I questioned her about it, she said she told her Matron, and she said it was due to family planning and it wasn’t hurting her truthfully.
“It wasn’t reacting in her body at all.
“Even the doctors that examined her said her body ought to have started decaying at the level it was.
“They said they were going to do two urgent surgeries worth N12.5 million.
“In her presence, she looked at me and started crying.
“I said, don’t worry. I went outside and started crying.
