A Nigerian student who was expected to graduate in a few weeks time has died after contracting the deadly coronavirus.
Bassey Offiong, 25, reportedly died of coronavirus on Saturday, March 28, after allegedly being turned down several times for the coronavirus test in the Kalamazoo area while living off-campus, despite having fever, fatigue and shortness of breath.
Bassey’s sister, Asari Offiong said;
“I told him to ask them to test him. He said they refused to test him. One medical staffer told him he had bronchitis.
“I know God has him in his presence. He loved God.”
May his soul rest in peace
