I Did Not Kill My Husband With AIDS – Joyce Dzidzor Mensah Opens Up Into What Exactly Led To The Recent Death Of Her Husband

blank

Former HIV/AIDS ambassador Joyce Dzidzor Mensah has opened up more concisely about what led to the death of her most recent husband, Edmund Akaniru.

At the time of Akaniru’s death, Dzidzor wrote a long, rambling post on social media about the issue, which wasn’t so clear about what exactly led to Edmund’s death.

In a more recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Mensah has denounced rumours that she killed her former husband by infecting him with AIDS.

After denying the AIDS allegation, Dzidzor attempted to clear up what led to Akaniru’s death.

Graphic Showbiz reports…

“My husband gave up the ghost in Nigeria after a long battle with a strange ailment. I heard stories and read lots of news, even on my social media pages, with people calling me names and accusing me of killing my husband. But I did not infect my late husband with HIV/AIDs. I did not kill him.

“Just as his family said, Edmund did not die of HIV/AIDS and that is it, Ghanaians should leave me alone”, she told Showbiz.

Joyce explained that she took him to a different hospital for medical care after medical treatment at the Kaneshie Polyclinic but that did not work with doctors unable to diagnose his ailment since all the tests conducted showed he was medically OK. However, she indicated that it was discovered he was short of blood.

“His family later took him to Nigeria and since his mother was a doctor, I hoped it would be much better. But unfortunately nothing was diagnosed in Nigeria apart from the old story of him having no blood in his body.

“I kept checking on him and he was later taken to a prayer camp where he told me his aunt was behind his strange sickness,” she continued.

“I received a call that Eddie had passed on May 7, 2017 and was buried on May 8, 2017,” she added.

Joyce explained further that she could not accompany Akaniru to his native Nigeria and did not see him until he heard of his demise because her late husband absconded with his sister to Nigeria without a word.

“Eddie later called to tell me not come over to Nigeria because if I did, my son will be killed. I believed him and trusted him because I thought he wanted the best for me,” explained Joyce, 30, who said life had never been the same since the death of her 24-year-old husband.

Despite the circumstances surrounding her husband’s death, Joyce maintains she still has a cordial relationship with his in-laws.

“Let me put it on record that I have no problem with his family; they have been supportive and they call me from time to time to check up on us.”
