Death of UK-Based Nurse: Fellow Nigerians in Overwhelming Grief

Nigerians in the United Kingdom are overtaken in sorrow, following the sudden death of UK-based Nigerian Nurse, Nnena Miriam.

Nnena’s lifeless body was discovered in her apartment in Leeds, after she was declared missing by Fellow Nurses Africa — a platform committed to the growth and support of African nurses, reports say.

What makes it even more heart rending is that Nnena, recently returned to the UK after travelling to Nigeria for her introduction ceremony.

In other words, she was preparing for her wedding proper before death came calling.

Ever since, the community of Nigerians there, have been pouring out their hearts in grief and sorrow.

“It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we report the sudden passing of one of our own, Nnena Miriam, a dedicated and professional nurse based in Leeds, United Kingdom”, Fellow Nurses Africa expressed stated in an official statement released on Wednesday,:

“Alarm bells were raised when her close friend tried reaching out to her repeatedly from that Sunday without success. Growing increasingly worried, the friend filed a missing person report—only for the police to later discover her lifeless body in her apartment.”

“Your sudden death has left us with unspeakable grief

“Instead, her sudden death has left colleagues and loved ones overwhelmed with unspeakable grief and unanswered questions.”

“Her untimely passing is a profound loss to the healthcare family she served with pride and to the many patients whose lives she touched with care and compassion.

“As the investigation continues, we join the family, friends, and the global African nursing community in mourning this tragic loss,” the organisation added.

What led to the discovery was Miriam’s failure to report to work as at when due.
