A  Nigerian woman, Chidimma Susa Ezenyili, who worked as a caregiver in the United Kingdom slumped on February 22 and died two days later.

 

Ezenyili who was a lawyer in Nigeria was tendering to an elderly woman, Ian Hale on Scott Road when she collapsed while on duty.

 

Ezenyili and her husband, Friday left Nigeria in August 2023, to go and work as caregivers on sponsorship visas to give their toddler daughter Mandy a better life.

 

The 37-year-old migrated to the UK and had been caring for the 86-year-old Hale for the past five months.

 

Hale’s daughter, Catherine Segal, said;

“She (Ezenyili) was driven there by her husband with their three-year-old daughter as she wasn’t feeling well but didn’t want to let my dad down.”

 

Speaking further, Segal said the caregiver collapsed on Thursday, February 22, and stopped breathing and did not have a pulse.

“Naturally, her husband started shouting for help. The neighbourhood raced to help. Myself and my husband ran outside along with our next-door neighbour and our neighbour from across the road. We had two GoodSAM first responders arrive shortly after to assist. The community first responder along with several ambulances, police and the critical care team arrived to take over attempts to save her life and were successful in getting her on life support in the ambulance.”

 

Segal said the deceased was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where doctors at the neurosciences critical care unit discovered she had suffered a severe brain haemorrhage.

 

In his narration, Segal’s husband, Saul said;

“Sadly, life support was turned off two days later, on February 24, and she passed with her husband by her side. Suzy came here as a carer to fill a need in our community. She was qualified in law in Nigeria and was planning to attain her qualifications to practise law here after her sponsorship as a career finished. She was a really good carer. Kind, considerate and always willing to help no matter what the circumstances. Her dream was for her daughter, Mandy, to attend school in the UK and to make a new life here where she would have the opportunities that Suzy and Friday never had growing up in Nigeria.”

Lagos Father Cries Out As 9-Month-Old Twins Pass Away After Immunisation

Published

on

A Lagos father, Samuel Alozie, known as Promise Samuel on TikTok, is demanding justice after his nine-month-old twin sons, Timothy and Testimony, reportedly passed away about 24 hours after receiving routine immunizations at the Ajangbadi Primary Health Centre in Ojo Local Government Area.

The tragedy gained widespread attention when Alozie posted a video on TikTok showing the remains of his children in separate body bags.

He captioned; “This is the result of the immunisation… they killed my twin boys with injections.”

Despite following the nurse’s advice to administer paracetamol and giving the children a bath to reduce their rising temperature, the twins passed away the following morning, December 25.

“It happened that the immunization was conducted on the 24th of December, in the morning. And on the morning of 25th December, they d!£d. On that 24th, after the injection, they were very we@k, and I gave them paracetamol because the nurse said that if the temperature continued, I should give them paracetamol.

“I, and my wife, after we left the health centre, went home and gave the two of them paracetamol, which didn’t solve anything. We even bathed them. My wife bathed them in cold water. They d!£d on the 25th. The two of them d!£d at the same time. And the worst part of it is that the dr¥g weakened two of them to the extent they couldn’t talk, they couldn’t eat, they couldn’t play as usual, like they couldn’t disturb as they used to do.”

Alozie alleged that the health centre may have administered expired or fake vaccines, or given an overdose.

“The Government has ki||£d my children. The Nigerian government… My twins, my nine-month-old children; they have ki||£d them with their f@ke injection and f@ke vaccine.

“Before you go for immunisation, try to know what they are giving to your child, because I guess maybe this is an overdose, or it is f@ke drugs. Because you can’t tell me that my children who are not s!ck, who are strong and sound, and then going to immunisation and coming back, they are de@d.”

He also claimed that the nurse on duty that day was not the usual staff who had been attending to the twins.

He further stated that the nurse administered deworming tablets to the nine-month-old infants without his knowledge or consent.

“The funny part of this is that the woman who has been giving us injections is not the woman who gave us the injection that day. Another face.

“The nurse is even saying that the injection she gave them is what the government prescribed for her to give. What about the tablet drug? You said it’s a worm medicine that you gave my children.

“You gave them worm medicine, and you didn’t ask me, and you didn’t even tell me that you were giving them worm medicine to deworm them. Did I tell you that my children are having a worm problem? Or did I tell you that I wanted you to give them worm medicine? No. Then you explained to the government that you wanted to give them because you are helping me. Helping me to give my two nine-month-old children worm medicine?”

“You gave them worm medicine, and you didn’t ask me, and you didn’t even tell me… Did I tell you that my children are having worm problem?” Alozie said.

The health centre reportedly suggested that the deaths could have been caused by “food bacteria.”

Alozie rejected this explanation, arguing that the children had been healthy since birth and had no history of serious illness.

“The nurse is talking about bacteria, food bacteria. She said that it is food bacteria that killed my children. How can food bacteria kill a child? Food that I’ve been giving them from one month to nine months, the food didn’t kill them. How is it possible?” he asked.

Alozie expressed concern that the government facility might manipulate the autopsy results.

He called for legal support, stating he lacked the financial resources to pursue the case alone.

“Please, if you’re a lawyer, a human rights lawyer, please help me. I don’t have a lawyer, and you know government issue. If you don’t have anybody, you will not get a better result… Although the autopsy has been conducted already, The reason I’m scared is that I don’t know if this government will give me the actual justice because, you know, this is government-to-government. The primary health centre is for the government, and the people who are even running the case for me are government people.

“I know that they will manipulate this result. They are using fake drugs and fake vaccines. They will manipulate it to their own favour, but God will punish any doctor, any nurse who will manipulate this result. The souls of my children will curse that person.”

In his emotional plea, Alozie emphasized the urgency of public support to ensure justice for his twins.

“If I don’t have finance, I have people… I need justice for these children. I have buried them, but I know that their spirit is still not at peace because they died untimely deaths, and their death was caused by the government. I don’t have anybody except God, but I know that God will bring justice to them.”

The Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Primary Health Care Board have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident or the findings of the autopsy.

According to Alozie, he took the twins for their scheduled immunisation on the morning of December 24, 2025.

He said the boys became extremely weak shortly after the injections and were unable to eat or play.

Rivers govt probes alleged extortion, exam fraud at College of Nursing

Published

on

Rivers State Government has set up an independent investigative panel to probe allegations of extortion, examination malpractice and bribery in a department of the Rivers State College of Nursing Sciences.

The State Ministry of Health said the allegations include unauthorised payments for project topic approvals, the sale of examination questions and marking schemes, and bribery for guaranteed passes in professional examinations.

Following receipt of the complaints, the ministry said it formally notified the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, as well as relevant security agencies.

Speaking during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Monday, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Adaeze Oreh, said the action reflects the Rivers State Government’s “zero tolerance for corruption in any shape or form.”

“We are not taking these allegations lightly,” Oreh said, adding that the ministry had constituted “an independent investigative panel to investigate these allegations.”

The panel is chaired by Professor Chizindu Alikor, with Dr Golden Ohonda, Dr Vincent Wanchuku, Dr Maria Krukubo and Mrs Sotoyo Isokorare as members, while Mrs Dema Martins Nwibu will serve as secretary.

According to Oreh, the panel had been mandated to independently investigate all allegations leveled against the affected department of the College of Nursing Sciences and submit its findings.

As part of immediate measures, officials implicated in the allegations have been suspended.

The Commissioner said the provost of the college has been informed, while arrangements are underway for the appointment of an acting head of the affected department.

The ministry also announced that a full forensic audit would be conducted on the Year Two, second semester examinations.

To encourage cooperation, the government assured that students who come forward with information to assist the panel would be adequately protected.

Reiterating the government’s position, Oreh said the ministry “is not tolerant of extortion in any shape or form” and would not condone “any compromise of the integrity of what should be professional examinations.”

She assured the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated, stressing that “all guilty parties will be made to answer to these infractions and will be brought to book.”
