Before her passing, several Nollywood stars, including Wumi Toriola, Mide Martins, Afeez Owo, and Ronke Oshodi Oke, had appealed to the public to support her financially.
Her condition became widely known after a distressing video showed her lying on a hospital bed, connected to oxygen, as she tearfully begged for help.
In a 2024 interview with actress Bimpe Akintunde on the Wasila Coded podcast, Aunty Ajara spoke openly about a traumatic incident that left a permanent mark on her life.
According to the late actress, she was assaulted by a man who was known to her extended family. She revealed that the incident led to a pregnancy she never planned for.
Ajara recounted that the child was delivered through a caesarean section, but tragedy struck shortly after.
“I was sexually assaulted by a guy who was a friend to my aunty’s husband’s brother. I gave birth to the baby through CS, but he died on the third day,” she said during the emotional conversation.
