The 25-year-old singer reportedly passed away on Saturday, January 31, after being bitten by a cobra inside her room at her Abuja residence.
According to accounts shared by friends and colleagues online, Ifunanya was rushed to the hospital immediately after the snake bite. However, they claim she could not be saved due to the unavailability of the required antivenom at the time.
Videos circulating on social media show a snake catcher holding a cobra said to have been found inside her room. In the background, voices can be heard suggesting there may have been more snakes in the house, as the singer had earlier complained that she had seen a large snake prior to the incident.
Unconfirmed reports circulating on Facebook further allege that two snakes were eventually discovered in the house.
Members of the Abuja choral and music community have taken to social media to mourn her passing. Many described her death as “not ordinary,” while others paid tribute to her exceptional talent, remembering her as a gifted singer with a powerful, sonorous voice and a promising future in the music industry.
Ifunanya’s death has left fans, friends, and colleagues heartbroken, cutting short a young life and a rising career that showed immense potential.
