A Nigerian lawyer, Chidinma Susan Ezenyili, has died six months after relocating to the United Kingdom.
She was said to have collapsed at work on Thursday, February 22, 2024, before she died two days later.
The 37-year-old had struggled to work because she resolved not to abandon her elderly client, Ian Hale in Scott Road, 86, who she has been working for, for five months.
She was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where doctors at the neurosciences critical care unit discovered she had suffered a severe brain hemorrhage.
She and her husband, Friday, were said to have left Nigeria in August 2023 for the UK, and both have been working as caregivers on sponsorship visas.
Hale’s daughter, Catherine Segal, said, “She was driven there by her husband with their three-year-old daughter as she wasn’t feeling well but didn’t want to let my dad down.”
Japajantis had reported in January that Saheed Wahab, a Nigerian man, had died after a day of relocating to the UK.
The Nigerian community in the UK announced the news via its X handle.
“Following the sad news we received regarding the death of Mr Saheed Wahab, a student at Teesside University who died a day after arriving in the United Kingdom from Nigeria,” Nigerians in the UK Community wrote.
“He was here to start an MSc qualification, but unfortunately he died on Tuesday (16th January) afternoon in Teesside.
“May Almighty Allah forgive his sins and accept his return.”
The cause of death could not be ascertained and the group did not link the death to any cause in their statement.
