What should have been a time of celebration turned into a devastating tragedy as Dr. Fortune Gomo, a UK-based Nigerian academic, was brutally killed just days after earning her PhD from the University of Dundee.
The news was shared online by a concerned netizen, Prince Adeshina, who recounted the horrifying incident.
It was said that Dr. Gomo was reportedly walking along South Road in Dundee with her 10-year-old daughter at approximately 4:25p.m. when she was suddenly attacked.
A 20-year-old man, now in police custody, allegedly stabbed her in broad daylight.
Despite swift response from emergency services, she succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
Her demise has triggered widespread outrage and grief, particularly within the Nigerian and academic communities.
The loss has also reignited conversations about the safety of immigrants and women in public spaces, particularly in the UK.
May her soul Rest in Peace 🥺
