Medical sources involved in her care have confirmed that Folorunso Alakija, a Nigerian billionaire, has lost her eyesight completely.
The 73-year-old founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil began experiencing health issues after a near air mishap.
Sources revealed that she was travelling with her husband, Modupe Alakija, Chairman of Famfa Oil, when the incident caused a spike in her blood pressure and affected her vision.
The source said, “She had a near air mishap with her husband on board and her blood pressure reportedly shot up affecting her eyes. She has been having eyesight issues, but instead of treating the illness, she chose to start a church to help her. Now she can’t see.
Despite purchasing a new jet to avoid flying with her husband, her vision continued to worsen until she eventually became completely blind.
