Sister of late breast cancer patient speaks on family deserting her [Video]

Selina Kpebi, the blood sister of late Agnes Dogbe, who recently died of cancer, has denied assertions by the media that her late sister was abandoned by the family.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show on Friday, madam Kpebi said she was in constant contact with her late sister. 

I usually speak with her on the phone, it’s not true that we deserted her. We send food to the children and her to eat, she said.

It’s true we don’t have the money to have properly taken care of her, but we took her to the hospital with the little we had. We did our best, she added.
