Nigeria’s richest Woman, Folorunso Alakija have reportedly gone blind and is currently undergoing treatment.

According to reports, Alakija lost her sight after a near air mishap that deeply unsettled her.

The billionaire and her husband, Modupe Alakija, the Chairman of Famfa Oil, were traveling in a plane when the incident happened causing her blood pressure to rise.

Following the incident, Mrs. Alakija reportedly ordered a new jet to avoid travelling on the same flight as her husband. However, her vision continued to deteriorate until she ultimately lost her sight completely.

“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.” One of the sources said according to Sahara Reporters.
