Friends mourn as 50-year-old pregnant woman dies after 20 years of waiting
A 50-year-old woman, Adenike Adewusi Adewunmi, has reportedly passed away following pregnancy complications after 20 years of trying to conceive.
Adenike, who had waited for two decades for the fruit of the womb, finally conceived but unfortunately died with the pregnancy.
She was said to have complained of shortness of breath on Friday morning, April 13, and died before she could get to the hospital.
Friends have since taken to social media to mourn the deceased, whom many described as a boisterous woman who was always spreading love.
Taking to Facebook, a close friend of the deceased wrote,
“I have seen her everywhere, 33 of my friends know her and I have looked at her over and over but cant recall meeting her at any point in my life. She waited for 20 years for a miracle child and just days to beholding the day of glory she exits.
She was said to have developed pre-eclampsia and complained of short breath. She still posted yesterday.
I have questions but no answers. My heart is very heavy. My prayer is that the Lord will receive her soul and make her rest in peace. To everyone grieving right now…may the Lord comfort everyone.
Goodnight sister Adenike Adewunmi-Adebisi”.

Mrs Adenike Adewunmi-Adebisi was childless for over 20 years in her marriage and God finally answered her prayer but in the end, she died with the pregnancy when she was to celebrate her 50th birthday in few months to come and leaving her old parents behind. Allahu Akbar ????
She was always happy
She was always positive
While hiding her pains, she was always trying to make everyone happy.I have never met her in person but her death touched me differently. It’s so terrible a news and very hard to bear.
