THE 18-year-old law undergraduate, Kikaose Ebiye Onyibe, daughter of Magnus Onyibe, former Commissioner for Information in Delta State, died of complications from appendicitis after her UK doctor failed to diagnose the ailment in three months.
The daughter of the former Commissioner, who writes a regular column for TheCable, was a second year law undergraduate at the University of Birmingham.
She died, Wednesday, in Lagos, after a surgery to remove a ruptured appendix.
“Kikaose had been complaining of lower abdominal pain since October last year and had been visiting a GP in Birmingham, UK, where her school is located,” the parents said in the obituary announcement.
They added: “The GP failed to diagnose the ailment correctly despite several visits in many months.
“Instead of conducting a scan, they gave her minor pain killers whenever she visited the clinic.”
