A popular chorister in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, Ifunanya Nwangene, aka; Nanya_music or Soprano Queen, has died from cobra venom after the snake’s bite in her Abuja home.
The snake reportedly bit the singer in her room yesterday, Saturday, January 31.
Friends say she rushed to the hospital immediately the incident occurred and could have been saved, but for lack of antidote in the hospital and other medical facilities in the area.
Circulating videos show a snake catcher holding the cobra that apparently killed the singer in her room.
People are heard in the videos, saying there may be more snakes in the apartment because Nanyah had previously complained that “she saw a grown one”.
The Abuja choral community has gone online to mourn her, with many hailing the singer as a real talent with a sonorous voice on the way to stardom
