A Nigerian singer died after a snake bite despite receiving antivenom and treatment at a federal hospital, sparking national debate over healthcare access.
The Federal Medical Centre in Abuja denied claims of anti-venom unavailability in the death of 26-year-old singer Ifunanya Nwangene, who died on January 31, 2026, after a snake bite.
The hospital stated she received immediate treatment, including polyvalent antivenom, resuscitation, and oxygen, but her condition rapidly deteriorated despite efforts to transfer her to the ICU.
Nwangene, a former *The Voice Nigeria* contestant, was reportedly bitten while asleep in her apartment, where two snakes were later found.
Her family and friends said she was initially treated at a clinic without anti-venom, and some sources claimed one of two needed antivenom types was unavailable.
The incident has sparked national debate over healthcare access and emergency response in Nigeria, prompting the health minister to announce a national task force on patient safety.
