The Nigerian community in Norwich has begun fundraising to return the body of slain student Uchenna Okirie to Nigeria for burial.
Nigerians in Norwich, United Kingdom, have launched a fundraising campaign to repatriate the remains of Uchenna Okirie, a student stabbed to death in his apartment in November 2025. A 27-year-old Congolese national, Benjamin Katabana, has been charged in connection with the killing.
The GoFundMe appeal has raised £1,149 of a £7,000 target. Organisers described Okirie as “a remarkable soul steady, genuine, and deeply compassionate,” adding, “No contribution is too small, and every donation brings us closer to giving Uche the farewell he deserves.”
