The son of leading NHS doctor, Dr Alfa Saadu, who recently died of coronavirus in the Uk, has spoken about the death of his father, and the virus.
The doctor, who grew up in Nigeria’s Kwara state, moved to the UK when he was 12 years old and worked for most of his career in the UK, with a stint of teaching at a hospital in Nigeria.
His son Dani posted on Facebook:

“He had been fighting the virus for two weeks but he could not fight any more.
“The NHS were amazing and did everything they could.
“My dad was a living legend, worked for the NHS for 40 years saving people’s lives here and in Africa.
“Up until he got sick, he was still working part-time saving people.
“The coronavirus is not a joke, please take it seriously and listen to the government.
“Please stay safe and protect your loved ones, nothing is more important.”
