The Nigerian community in the UK expressed its condolences and shared details of a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of her burial.

“With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Mrs. Olubunmi Okeniyi, who tragically passed away on the 13/10/24, at 4:30pm in Sunderland, UK,” the statement said.
