Kemi Talks – THIS WEEK #kemitalks remembers Stella Obasanjo the First Lady of Nigeria from 1999 until her death October 23rd 2005. She was the wife of former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
She is remembered for her charisma and flamboyance, and many Nigerians still regard her as the most beautiful First Lady Nigeria had. However, her sudden death in Puerto Banús, Spain left the whole nation and beyond in shock but nobody could turn back the hands of time.
In 2009, the cosmetic surgeon who handled her procedure, Antonio Mena Molina, was convicted of negligent homicide by a court in Malaga. The court also sentenced him to a year in prison with a €120,000 (£110,000) fine, and further banned him from practising medicine for three years.
