A Nigerian woman based in the UK, Dr. Fortune Gomo, has tragically passed away just days after earning her PhD from the University of Dundee.
According to a post on X by Prince Adeshina, the heartbreaking incident occurred on South Road in Dundee, where Dr. Gomo was fatally stabbed in broad daylight while walking with her 10-year-old daughter around 4:25 p.m.
Emergency services arrived at the scene and attempted to save her, but she sadly died before she could be taken to hospital.
Police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the attack. Investigations are ongoing.
Dr. Gomo had recently celebrated the completion of her doctoral degree, making the tragic news even more devastating for her family, friends, and academic community.
May her soul rest in peace.
