In a post that has been making the rounds, it was stated that after the singer was reportedly bitten by a snake, she sent a message to members of her group, who immediately rallied around her.
Some members made it to the hospital, where they assisted in ensuring that she received medical attention.
According to Sam Ezugwu, after antivenom was administered, the hospital requested additional doses of neostigmine.
Calls were made to several pharmacies before the medication was eventually found at Skylark Pharmacy near the National Hospital.
By that time, Ifunnaya was no longer able to speak and could only communicate through hand gestures. As the group was leaving the hospital to get the medication, she reportedly stopped breathing and was placed on oxygen.

He added that the singer's father was contacted and reportedly instructed that her body should be placed in an ambulance and taken to Enugu State for burial.
According to Ezugwu, when a snake handler later visited her home, three snakes, including a cobra, were reportedly found in her room.
Neighbours share what Ifunnaya did after the bite
Ezugwu also recounted the efforts made by Ifunnaya’s neighbours after she was bitten on the wrist. He said one neighbour attempted to start his car three times, but it failed. As a result, Ifunnaya reportedly ran about 500 metres to the estate gate to get a motorcycle that took her to the hospital.
