A mother of three, who was initially believed to have died after she was beaten by her husband, has reportedly woken up just as she was being transported to the mortuary.
An X (Twitter) user with the handle, @Sylph_xo took to the platform on Saturday to announce the passing of her neighbour after her husband smashed something on her head.
She had written: “I’m in extreme pain. My neighbour just beat his wife to death. He hit her head with a big stick and she died 😭😭😭” She made the post at 4:30 pm.
The announcement was greeted with angry reactions, with many of her followers calling for the arrest of the culprit.
However, Sylph returned to the same platform at 6:15 pm to announce that the woman had returned to life.
She wrote: “You guysssss!!!! Please help me dance! News reaching me is that she got up last minute. On the way to the mortuary!!!! Help me thank God and everything you believe in! Jesus! I’m still crying. He turned my sadness to joy! God is wonderful 😭😭😭”
Many of her followers broke out in celebration and felicitations. However, queried her on how they knew the neighbour was dead in the first place.
She responded that the neighbor was actually declared dead by a doctor and they were already moving her to the mortuary when someone noticed she moved and they returned her.
In a follow-up tweet, Sylph announced to her followers that more signs of life had been established, but she was still in a critical condition.
Up to about 13 hours ago, Sylph still provided an update to the effect that the woman was still stable. She called for people to support her with prayer so that she could fully pull through

@50shadesofLizie: “Now I believe a lot of people that were buried in this country didn’t die. They went into a coma. Glad she’s alive”
@Sylph_xo: “That is very valid. We literally went into mourning. I’m glad too!”
@KlausLothbrok: “This is good news. Tell your neighbour to leave that marriage
@Sylph_xo: “He’ll be in prison then my friends and I will make sure she and her kids are okay.”
@ronkecarew: “God be praised and thank you for helping, God bless you”
@Sylph_xo: “Thank God and thank you! God bless you too.”
@steveabbey_: “They should have confirmed that she was actually gone before heading to the mortuary”
@Sylph_xo: “They did fam. I for no cry all the cry wey I cry now! A doctor said she was gone.”

But thank God she survived.”
@Sylph_xo: “They did. They were taking her to another hospital that has a morgue when she budged.”
