40-Year-Old British Woman And Unborn Baby Dies In Nigeria; Family Seeks Help To Bring Bodies Back Home For Burial

-



A 40-year-old British woman named Claire Chadwick, who relocated to Nigeria to start a new life with her husband has died alongside her unborn baby after developing sepsis.

Claire Chadwick, who was 37 weeks pregnant, reportedly suffered septic shock after her baby girl died in the womb.

It was gathered that Chadwick had moved to Nigeria to be with her husband, Ibrahim, and was expecting their first child together.

She had built a social media following of thousands through videos documenting their relationship, religious beliefs and food challenges on TikTok and Instagram.

Her death has left her family devastated, with her sister, Shannon, revealing that she is survived by her 19-year-old son in Wales, her husband and other relatives.

Describing late sister, Shannon said Claire was a funny and fiercely strong-minded woman who lived life on her own terms.

“She was a woman who lived her life in her own way and she will leave a lasting impression on everyone who knew her,” she said.

The family has since launched a GoFundMe campaign with a target of £10,000 to repatriate Claire and her unborn daughter to the United Kingdom for burial.

Explaining the purpose of the fundraiser, Shannon said the family wanted to bring both bodies home so they could be laid to rest with dignity and surrounded by their loved ones.

“More than anything, we want them both returned so they can be laid to rest with dignity, surrounded by the family who love them,” she said.

The fundraiser has attracted widespread support, with Shannon describing response as overwhelming.

She also expressed gratitude to REST, a charity that supports families dealing with the sudden or tragic deaths of loved ones abroad.

Tributes have also poured in from friends and well-wishers, who remembered Chadwick as a kind, caring and cheerful woman.

One supporter recalled knowing her from childhood and described her as lovely, while another said she was devastated by the loss, remembering her as someone who always made people laugh.

The family hopes to raise enough money to bring Claire and her unborn baby back to the United Kingdom.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, October 29, 2026, nullified the emergence of Governor Hope Uzodinma as candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Imo West Senatorial election slated to hold on Saturday, January 16, 2027. The court, in a judgment delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, held the evidence before it established that Governor Uzodinma was not the valid winner of the primary election the APC conducted in the senatorial zone on Monday, May 18, 2026, which was monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). According to the court, it was a former Governor of the state, Senator Rochas Okorocha, who garnered the highest number of votes cast at the primary election and therefore ought to have been nominated by the party. Consequently, Justice Egwuatu ordered INEC to forthwith recognise Senator Okorocha and publish his name as the authentic candidate of the APC for the senatorial poll. It further issued an order barring Governor Hope ...

  The Uni ted States House of Representatives has approved an amendment seeking to withhold 100 per cent of the U.S. assistance to Nigeria until the country takes stronger measures to address violence and alleged persecution of Christians. The amendment, sponsored by the U.S. Congressman Gregory Steube, was adopted through a voice vote on Wednesday and attached to the fiscal year 2027 State Department spending bill, which was later passed by the House by 217-209 votes, largely along party lines. Announcing the development on X, Steube said his amendment was aimed at ensuring accountability from the Nigerian government over its response to insecurity. “My amendment to withhold 100 per cent of U.S. aid to Nigeria until its government stops the slaughter of Christians has passed. “American taxpayers should never bankroll governments that turn a blind eye while Christians are abducted, tortured, and murdered. No more wasteful foreign aid!” he wrote. The original version of the spending...
