Following the passing of a nurse named Nnena Miriam, who worked in Leeds, the nursing communities in the UK and Nigeria have been plunged into sadness.
In a statement released on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Fellow Nurses Africa, an organization devoted to promoting the nursing profession in Africa, said that Miriam was discovered dead in her flat following the filing of a missing person report.
According to the organization, Miriam’s abrupt absence from work and numerous ignored calls prompted one of her close friends to report her missing.
The nurse’s lifeless body was reportedly later discovered by the police in her house.
It was also mentioned that Miriam had recently arrived back in the UK following her Nigerian introduction ceremony, which preceded her traditional marriage.
According to her coworkers, Miriam was a source of kindness, perseverance, and dedication in her work.
The message said, “We regret to inform you of the untimely death of one of our own, Nnena Miriam, a committed and skilled nurse from Leeds, United Kingdom.
“Under tragic circumstances, Nurse Miriam was discovered deceased in her chamber earlier this week. She reportedly worked her final shift on Sunday of last week.
When her close friend made several unsuccessful attempts to contact her starting that Sunday, alarms were raised. The friend became more concerned and reported her missing, but her body was later found dead in her apartment by the police.
