Reports in the United Kingdom said most recently, she worked at Wellington Hospital, a private centre in St John’s Wood, caring for young patients who were critically or terminally ill. She also worked for the NHS at various hospitals.
Daily Mail quoted Oyinkansola Honey Iloba described her mother as ‘selfless’ and ‘an exceptional woman’.
“She didn’t see her patients as just someone she was looking after, they were family,’ the 32-year-old said.
“There’s a picture of one of her patients on her wall. He’s pretty much our adopted younger brother because of how she saw him.
“She would spend Christmas with us and then spend it with her patients too, and always remembered birthdays.
“She raised all four of us by herself. We’re all graduates, we’re all doing well. That’s all because of her, she sacrificed everything for us.’
