Senate President Godswill Akpabio says his wife, Unoma, survives after spending six months in a coma. Multiple outlets report that he describes the incident as occurring in Germany after an operation goes wrong, after which she is declared close to death.

Premium Times, Punch, and Legit.ng all cite Akpabio recounting that the surgery failed and that his wife remained comatose for about half a year before waking up. Premium Times adds that she was described as being “98 per cent dead” at the time she was in a coma, while Punch and Legit.ng emphasize the emotional account of her recovery and her ability to recall family members after regaining consciousness.

The outlets agree on the core timeline—an operation in Germany followed by a coma lasting around six months and eventual recovery—but differ mainly in how they frame the details, including how directly they mention the “98 per cent” figure and the degree of personal recollection shared by Akpabio.
