The Nation Diploma, Mass Communication student, identified as Wumi, was reported to have paid a visit to her boyfriend where she suddenly fell ill.
On getting back from her boyfriend’s residence, she started foaming in her mouth and vomitting blood and was rushed to a nearby private hospital in Iree but she was rejected on seeing her condition.
