Days before her death, the university student shared a pic of her and her late grandmother and revealed that she was feeling her (grandmother) spirit and that she knew she was communicating with her.

She captioned;

Gogo, the bond between us is so deep. Heard your voice just now and I know your spirit knows what mine feels😭
