Anti Abiba explained that her family exhausted its savings and borrowed money while trying to save her brother. However, their financial situation eventually made it impossible to continue paying for his hospital treatment.
According to the content creator, the family had no choice but to take him home after running out of funds. She said he died just three hours later.
“We couldn’t even afford to buy him a few more days of treatment. We had to take him home, and now he’s gone.”
The comedian’s account highlights the distressing situation her family faced as it struggled to afford continued medical care for a loved one.
“What is the value of human life in this country?”
Following the loss, Anti Abiba questioned the circumstances that can leave families unable to pay for life-saving treatment.

“Who will speak for the average Nigerians?” she asked, drawing attention to families struggling to keep their loved ones alive.
