Nigerian woman di£s of cardiac arrest while visiting the UK

A Nigerian woman visiting her family in the UK has di£d of a cardiac arrest. 
The family of Christiana Nwosu have not launched a fundraising campaign to repatriate the remains of their mother. 
Chijioke Metuka, who signed the GoFundMe appeal on behalf of the Nwosu family, wrote that Christiana Nwosu di£d on July 19, 2026. 
Metuka described the deceased as “a beacon of light, love and warmth” whose passing had created an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew her. 
The family said its greatest wish was to honour her memory by returning her body to Nigeria for burial. 
The appeal read, “During this time of immense grief, Izuchukwu and his family’s deepest wish is to honour her memory by laying her to rest in her homeland of Nigeria, surrounded by her extended family and roots. 
“Repatriating a loved one from the UK to Nigeria comes with significant and unexpected financial burdens.” 
According to the family, repatriating her remains from the UK would cost about £10,000.
