Late Bisi Komolafe's Fiancee Speaks At Last

                                                                Late Bisi and Tunde

Very touching. Thank God the guy also spoke out.

On Bisi’s Jeep and properties....

Tunde:  Bisi’s property, I don't think it is a proper thing for family members to be fighting me for bisi’s properties less than 24hours after Bisi’s death when we should be mourning her. Bisi died at age 27 and it is sad. I am sending the Honda Pilot back to them, sad enough Bisi’s parents do not have issues with me but her extended family members. Please note I have given them time and place to pick the car.

Doctor:Bisi Komolafe Didn't Bleed But Kept Receiving Blood

A lot of stories have been flying around, and we also got so many comments that suggested it was a spiritual attack. We couldn't post them because almost all fingers were pointing at a particular actor. Some websites have also said it was a spiritual attack too. Some said it was due to the negligence of the Doctors who took care of her. But one of the doctors who treated her, has this to say;

It was not just a miscarriage she had I treated her in my hospital few weeks before her demise where i counselled and referred her to UCH. She kept on receiving blood without bleeding and her pcv kept on going down. I learnt the pregnancy was terminated to save her life and in all she took about 40 units of blood within 3 months. It was not negligence on the part of the Doctors who saw her but the nature of an ailment that kept drying up her blood without any active bleeding in her body.
