Pregnant Woman Dies in Katsina Hospital After Staff Reject Bank Transfer for Oxygen Payment

A pregnant woman, Aisha Najamu, has died at Turai Umaru Musa Yar’adua Maternity and Children Hospital in Katsina after health workers allegedly refused to accept a bank transfer for the payment of oxygen, insisting on cash only.

According to witnesses, the victim arrived at the hospital in a critical condition and urgently required oxygen support. However, the cashier on duty reportedly declined to issue a receipt or process payment because she did not have cash in hand, in line with the hospital’s internal rule prohibiting transfers.

A man who attempted to intervene told Katsina Times that he pleaded with the cashier to accept a transfer so the woman could be treated. He said the cashier maintained that hospital policy strictly forbids bank transfers and that staff must abide by the directive. The witness added that he even offered to pay an additional fee and later presented a $100 note to cover the cost, but the staff member still refused.

The witness described the scene as “deeply distressing,” saying the woman cried for help until she died around 11:30 p.m.

When contacted, the management of Turai Umaru Musa Yar’adua Hospital said they had not received a formal complaint from the public except through a human-rights organization, IHRAAC. The hospital representative, Cashier Aminu Ibrahim Kofar Bai, expressed condolences and assured that the management would visit the family and investigate any staff member found negligent.

Hospital officials defended their payment policy, saying the Katsina State Government’s TSA guidelines prohibit accepting transfers into personal accounts. They added that the hospital currently does not have POS machines and relies solely on cash payments. The management also lamented a shortage of medical oxygen, which they said they often purchase from Daura.

Head of Pharmacy, Perm Usman Salisu Wada, admitted that oxygen supply is limited.

An Indian Billionaire businessman has left a large chunk of his £91million fortune to his dog in his will.

The Jaguar, Land Rover, and Tetley tycoon, Ratan Tata d!ed earlier this month aged 86, but now his German shepherd, Tito, has been awarded “unlimited care” as part of his will.

As is customary in India, the businessman, who never married or had children, would have left his estate, valued at around £91million, to his siblings. But he overlooked his brother, Jimmy Tata, and half-sisters Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy in favour of his beloved German shepherd, Tito.

According to the Times, Mr Tata stated that his pooch, his butler and general assistant, Konar Subbiah, and his cook, Rajan Shaw, should each receive a large portion of his fortune. His siblings will only inherit part of his estate.

In his will, Mr Tata, who is credited with transforming the Tata Group into a globally renowned conglomerate specified that provisions should be put in place to provide ‘unlimited care’ for his beloved pet, who was by his side until he died.

According to Suhel Seth, a close friend of Tata, the amount which has been left to Tata’s former butler and cook, both in their 50s and now taking care of Tito, is generous.

He has made very, very generous provisions for them’, he told the Times. ‘They will never have to work again and they will be very well looked after’.

He added that the instructions were of no surprise to those who knew Mr Tata well, saying: ‘This will is not a statement of wealth’ but a ‘gesture of gratitude for the joy and care’ he was given by his pets and two closest aides.

During his tenure as chairman of the Tata Group, the conglomerate made several high-profile acquisitions.

The group purchased British tea firm Tetley in 2000 for $432 million and Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus in 2007 for $13 billion - at the time the biggest takeover of a foreign firm by an Indian company.
