He Said He Could No Longer Marry Me – Woman Reveals Fiance Called Off Wedding After She Lost Her Leg in a Accident

A 27-year-old woman identified as Loveth Sunday has opened up about how her fiancé called off their wedding after she lost her leg in a tragic road accident.

Speaking during an interview with PUNCH, Loveth recounted the heartbreaking incident, revealing that the accident claimed two lives while she narrowly survived.

She said:

“I was involved in a fatal accident. I said it was a fatal accident because it took two lives.

“It was a bus that had a brake failure that knocked me down where I was standing by the roadside. The bus veered off the road and hit three people, including me. Two people died while I survived. I didn’t see the bus coming towards me because it happened so fast.

“I was rushed to the hospital by sympathisers who were around the scene of the accident, and I was in a coma for five days. I was rushed to the first hospital but was rejected by the medical workers on the ground.

“A similar situation happened at the second hospital where the sympathisers took me to; I was rejected by five hospitals. I was attended to at the sixth hospital.

“It happened on the 12th of April 2019, at the front of Oraifite Police Station. I was going to Onitsha to buy one or two items for one of my siblings.”

Loveth said her parents were devastated after seeing the severity of her injuries and feared she would not survive.

She said:

“Yes, my parents came. They were heartbroken, and they thought I wasn’t going to make it because of how bad my leg was. The accident was so bad that anyone who saw me on that day would think I was going to die. But I thank God I am still alive.

“The two legs, according to the doctor, were to be amputated, but God intervened. I regained consciousness in the hospital I was taken to. That was when I noticed what happened. The hospital said the leg had been damaged and that they would not be able to fix it.

“They then transferred me to another hospital at Ojoto in Anambra State. It is called Uzondu Orthopaedic Hospital. Immediately, we got to the hospital, the doctor came down, checked me, and said the leg was dead and would be amputated. I felt so bad. I was so scared and began to think I was not going to make it.

“My parents disagreed with the doctor because the entire situation came to them as a shock. Then the doctor said that if they refused to approve that my leg should be amputated, the bacteria in the leg that was causing my left leg to decay could move to my heart and might cause serious damage that could lead to death.

“The doctor specifically said I might not survive it if it got to that stage. My parents wanted me alive, but they were scared when they heard that my leg would be amputated.

“So, they thought I was going to die. That was why they were against it in the first place. But after all the medical process, they were happy that I was alive.”

According to Loveth, although her parents initially refused to consent to the amputation, the doctor later convinced her that removing the leg was the only way to save her life.

She added:

“No, they still refused to give their approval. But when they maintained their stance on not supporting the amputation of my left leg, the doctor convinced me to do it (allow my leg to be amputated so that I can be alive)

“According to the doctor, if I survive the situation, it is my life, and if I don’t survive it, it is still my life.
