A Nigerian Masters degree graduate has di3d in the United Kingdom one year after he travelled there to further his education. Hammed, who has a Master’s degree in Business and Management from the University of Plymouth, passed on after his health deteriorated suddenly from advanced cancer.  A GoFundMe appeal was created last week by Mariam Ajibola and Mohammed Chaanda for Piety Mosque. The appeal was initially created to seek support for Hammeds medical care. However, after he passed on suddenly, it was updated to solicit funds for his burial.  According to the organisers, Hammed, a 36-year-old from Ayete in Oyo State, travelled to the UK in September 2024 to begin a Masters degree.  Despite a cancer diagnosis earlier this year, the organisers said he pushed through to complete his programme. The organisers described him as the last born in a family of four children, the joyful heart of his home, cheerful, friendly, and deeply committed to others.  When his condition worsened rapidly in recent weeks, attempts were made to fly him back to Nigeria so he could spend his final moments with his family. However, doctors declared him medically unfit to travel. With no possibility of repatriating his remains, the organisers appealed for support to give him a dignified burial in the UK.  We are raising funds to give Hammed a dignified burial, the appeal stated, adding that every contribution would help honour his life and ease the burden on his grieving family.  The GoFundMe account showed that the organisers ended the donation as of Sunday, Nov. 23, after raising more than their targeted donation.  Hammeds de@th comes just days after the passing of another Nigerian in the UK, Chiowa Obeigbe, whose body was found in his Gloucester apartment five days after he was suspected to have di3d.The post Nigerian graduate di3s in UK appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
