Missing Nigerian, Kenyan women found dead in UK waters, raise concerns
“There has been speculation online about whether someone could be targeting Black people, particularly Black women,” the group said.
A UK-based advocacy group, ForBlackWomenUK, has raised concerns over a troubling pattern involving missing Black women later discovered dead across the UK.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the group highlighted five cases involving four Nigerian women and one Kenyan whose disappearances ended with their bodies being found in rivers lakes or offshore waters.
The victims were identified as Blessing Olusegun, Kayon Williams, Taiwo Balogun, Samaria Ayanle and Edna Mmbali Ombakho. The organisation said the cases showed that missing Black women often receive less media attention, public awareness and support.
