JOHANNESBURG - A 25-year-old Nigerian-American student at the Western Michigan University in the US died from Covid-19 just weeks before his graduation, The Guardian Nigeria reported. Chemical engineering student Offiong was allegedly refused coronavirus tests in the Kalamazoo area, where he lived off-campus, despite experiencing symptoms that included fever, fatigue and breathing difficulties.
His cousin, Rosalyn Afiong paid tribute to him on Facebook after his death: “My dear sweet cousin, this is unreal. I don’t even know where to begin. May your soul rest in eternal peace. You did everything and more with your time here on Earth, and although you weren’t anywhere near done in your purpose, you’ve been called for a higher purpose bigger than us all. I love you so much and I pray you keep that same light shining on us from above.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control on Monday confirmed via its Twitter account that two people had died from Covid-19, while giving a breakdown of positive cases in the country.
