Another Nigerian based in the United Kingdom has been found dead at his workplace, marking the third such sudden death of a Nigerian in the UK this April. The deceased, Ademola Oke, was discovered unresponsive at his workplace on April 18, 2026.
Incident Details
According to a close family friend, Adejonwo Odutola, Ademola left his home that morning in good spirits and in excellent health. He maintained regular contact with his wife throughout the day, with no signs of any illness or distress. The last communication was a WhatsApp message at 2:08 pm, which appeared completely normal.
Tragically, later that day, a colleague arriving for a night shift at the service user’s house found Ademola seated on a sofa, unresponsive. Emergency services were immediately contacted, but Ademola was pronounced dead at the scene.
Family and Community Response
Ademola is survived by his 31-year-old wife and their two young children, aged six and two. Odutola described him as a loving husband and devoted father, whose sudden death has deeply affected his family and the community. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the family during this difficult time.
This incident follows the recent deaths of two other UK-based Nigerians: a mother of three who died of cancer, and a father of three found dead in his apartment. The series of tragedies has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian community in the UK.
