A Nigerian couple residing in the United Kingdom has died 10 days apart after contracting the deadly novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Dr. James Oniah, a 79-year-old retired radiologist, died on April 24 after battling with the virus while his wife, 61-year-old Mary, who is a care home director, died on May 4.

One of the three children of the couple, Oke Oniah, told UK press that his family is still coming to terms with their tragic deaths.

His wife, late Mary trained as a nurse and a midwife at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka, Zambia and St Georges and Roehampton University Teaching Hospital in South London and palliative care nursing at City, University of London.
