Senate President Godswill Akpabio says his wife, Unoma Akpabio, regains consciousness after spending six months in a coma. Both outlets report that he attributes her recovery to what he describes as a miraculous outcome following a medical procedure that went wrong.

Premium Times and The Punch state that Akpabio says the incident began with surgery in Germany. He describes her condition as severe, including claims that doctors declared her close to death while she remained in a coma, and that the surgery failed. Punch frames his account as a survival story, while Premium Times highlights the “miraculous” aspect and the duration of the coma.

The reports do not provide additional independent medical details, such as the diagnosis, the specific cause of the coma, or any follow-up treatment. The accounts focus on Akpabio’s personal account of events and his explanation for his wife’s eventual recovery.
