Jehovah Witness Cancer Patient, Aunty Esther Rejects Blood Transfusion After N30m Public Donation

Published

on

Popular Nigerian personal shopper, Aunty Esther, who is well known on X, has made headlines after new reports claimed she allegedly refused a doctor-recommended blood transfusion following her cancer diagnosis.

Aunty Esther has been diagnosed with cancer recently and had earlier informed her followers that her test results were out, confirming cancer in her breast and armpit. She also thanked everyone who contributed financially to her treatment.

Many people on social media quickly rallied round to raise money for her treatment. The donation was anchored by Wisdom Obi-Dickson, a media personality known for charity activities, especially on X with the username @Wizarab10, who successfully helped raise over N 30,776,252 as of December 1st, 2025.

However, one of the coordinators handling donations, Sir Dickson, announced that he and another medical volunteer have stepped away from her case.

According to him, doctors advised that she needed a blood transfusion before starting chemotherapy, but she rejected it due to her Jehovah’s Witness faith.

He added that her church allegedly warned she would be disfellowshipped if she accepted blood, and some family members insisted that “whatever happens is God’s will.”

He said that while her beliefs must be respected, they can’t continue leading a fundraiser when the patient is refusing the ideal treatment that could save her life.

This sparked reactions across X, with many donors expressing frustration, fearing that their financial support may go to waste if she rejects medically necessary care.

A popular online doctor also weighed in, saying people have a right to be upset. He noted that in a life-threatening situation, refusing the recommended treatment could lead to severe consequences, and appealed to Aunty Esther, her family, and her religious elders to reconsider the decision.
