Another Nigerian student, Douglas Izevbigie, has died in the UK.
Douglas was pursuing a master’s degree at Sheffield Hallam University and had left Nigeria for it in 2024.
Leukemia derailed his plan when he came down with it in the middle of the master’s programme and eventually succumbed to the disease as he passed away on January 21 at a UK hospital.
“Tragically, Douglas passed away unexpectedly on January 21. He was found unwell and unresponsive in his room by his sister and was taken to A&E, but despite urgent medical care, he sadly passed away,” a woman identified simply as Sephora, wrote in an appeal for financial assistance for the deceased’s burial on
GoFundMe created to raise money for his burial in the UK.
