Nigerian lady suffers seizure and dies shortly after making arrangements for her relocation to the UK

A Nigerian lady, Sylvia Obilor, has died shortly after securing admission into the University of Salford in Manchester, England.

It was gathered that the Abia State University, Uturu, graduate attended a church service on Saturday, August 9, 2025 when she suddenly suffered a seizure.

Sadly, all efforts to save her life proved unsuccessful as she passed away on August 12.

Late Sylvia concluded her compulsory national youth service in March.

The Seventh Day Adventist Church in Aba, Abia State, confirmed the sad news in a statement on August 13.

“The Family of Deacon Christian Obilor: Dear Family, WORDS OF CONDOLENCE AND SYMPATHY. It is with heavy hearts that we write to express our deepest condolences and sympathy to you over the untimely d3ath of your beloved daughter, Sylvia Obilor. The news of her passing away yesterday, August 12th, 2025, has left us shocked, saddened, and in deep sorrow,” the statement read.

We understand that the loss of a child is one of the most painful experiences any parent can endure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the love, peace, and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ be your strength and solace in this hour of grief.

“As a district, we stand in solidarity with you and offer our heartfelt sympathies. We pray that God will grant you the grace to navigate this challenging period and that the memories of Sylvia will remain a cherished treasure in your hearts.

“May her legacy live on, and may her life be an inspiration to all who knew her. Find Solace in Christ our Savior. With love, prayers, and deepest sympathies.”

Meanwhile, friends have taken to Facebook to mourn her.

Ibo General revealed that late Sylvia had begun making arrangements for her relocation to the UK.

“Sunset at Dawn , Dearest Sylvia Obilor why? I have not been able to accept this reality indeed. This has never been what i have always wanted to celebrate about you! So calm, respectful and decent. Life can be so cruel…just like this,” he wrote.

“Ms Sylvia Obilor had just secured admission into the University of Salford, Manchester, England. A brilliant graduate of Survey and Geoinformatics from Abia State University, Uturu, she had already begun making arrangements for her relocation to the UK. Her transcript transfer process was in motion, her dreams within reach.
