Uzaifa Modachi: Final year medical student dies 2-week after returning to Nigeria from Ukraine

Uzaifa Halilu Modachi, one of the 40 students evacuated to Sokoto from war-torn Ukraine, is dead.

Uzaifa died just two weeks after returning to the country.

Until his death, Uzaifa was in the final year of his studies in Zaporizhzhia State Medical University Ukraine.

 According to the father of the deceased former Ukrainian student, Honourable Habibu Haliru Modachi, who is a serving member of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, late Uzaifa, was in Ukraine for three years without returning home for vacation.

“Alhamdu Lilah, God gives and take away life, and that’s how he wanted it to happen, there is no doubt about it”, says the father, “had it been he died in Ukraine so many things would be said about him, that he was either killed by the Russian bombardment or had an accident or even accidentally shot and killed by the Ukrainian Army.

“We are grateful to God for having him die before us, we also thank the Nigerian government particularly Sokoto state for taking a hasty decision to evacuate them before the full escalation of the War in Ukraine”.
