A Nigerian health activist based in the United Kingdom, Ibironke Khadeejah Quadri, has revealed that three bodies of Nigerians who arrived the country two years ago are awaiting burial.
She said this in post via X on Wednesday.
Recall that Japajantis reported that a Nigerian masters student died a day after he arrived in the UK.
Quadri urged Nigerians settled in the UK to always assist new migrants, saying the transition could be difficult.
She also urged migrants to always take care of their health, adding that life abroad is a marathon, not a sprint.

A man, who claimed to be his brother, said his remains were yet to be flown back to Nigeria.
