A Nigerian woman has shared a heartbreaking story of how her sister lost her sanity shortly after giving birth.
She narrated the incident in a video posted on her TikTok page, explaining that the episode began on the same day her sister delivered her baby.
According to her, their mother had informed her around 9 a.m. that her sister had gone into labor.
By 2 p.m., she had given birth successfully and returned home in good health, even attending to guests who came visiting.
However, things took a sudden and terrifying turn later that evening.
Around 5 p.m., her sister went to the bathroom to take a bath but moments later, was found lying naked on the floor, unresponsive.
In her words: “My mum texted me around 9 am and said my sister has gone into labor. Around 2, she came home after a successful delivery. Everything was fine, visitors were coming in.”
“Towards evening, she went to the bathroom to take her bath. She was okay and walking, then the next thing—our last born ran in shouting, ‘Mama, come and see Loveth!’”
“We rushed there and found her lying naked on the bathroom floor. She started convulsing, her tongue out, biting it.”
“She regained consciousness briefly and asked what happened, but soon after, she began convulsing again.”
The emotional account has drawn many reactions online, with users flooding the comment section to express sympathy and share similar experiences.
