Joy traveled to Bangkok with £2000 to have the surgery at SP clinic which turned out to be a success at first, but shortly after that, it turned out that her wounds had already become infected.
She rushed back for a corrective surgery, but sadly Joy died on the operating bed.
Her family has denied ever knowing she traveled to Bangkok and said she was a girl loved by all. Here is what her brother who spoke to Daily-mail from Lagos said about her demise;
“We don't really know what went wrong, we only know what is in reports in the media. She was a very nice and caring person.She brought joy to people's lives.She was a beautiful girl, loved by everybody. We will miss her so much.'
He added that family members are planning to visit the country so they could get her corpse.
The doctor who carried out the procedure, (Sompob Sansiri), has been arrested and officials say they have already started investigating the cause of her death.
joy was born in Lagos, moved to Thamesmead with her mom in 2007 and had visited Thailand twice before deciding to go for the surgery.
