BBNaija’s Khloe Grateful After Emergency Surgery: ‘I’m a Living Testimony’

Former Big Brother Naija star Abiri Oluwabusayo, known as Khloe, shared a heartfelt testimony on April 14, 2025, revealing she underwent emergency surgery on April 10 to address a life-threatening stomach ailment that required a five-day hospitalization in Lagos.

The 31-year-old reality star, speaking via Instagram to 1.5 million followers, described the ordeal as “a wake-up call,” saying, “I’m a living testimony, God spared me.” Khloe, who didn’t disclose the specific condition, credited her recovery to doctors at Lagos University Teaching Hospital and support from fans, who sent 10,000+ messages, per her team.

The surgery, costing an estimated ₦5 million, disrupted Khloe’s fitness brand launch, planned for May, but she vowed to resume work, sharing recovery photos in a hospital gown. Her 2018 BBNaija stint, earning her 40% of public votes in a comeback twist, made her a household name, and her 2024 fashion line grossed ₦50 million, per BusinessDay.

Posts on X show fans flooding her page with prayers, though some speculated about cosmetic procedures, which Khloe denied. “This was survival, not vanity,” she clarified. Khloe’s story, trending with 300,000 searches, highlights Nigeria’s healthcare challenges, with only 3,000 hospitals serving 220 million, per WHO data.
