Nigerian rapist dies of brain cancer in prison

Davies, a British national convicted in 2024 for a high‑profile sexual assault, succumbed to an aggressive glioblastoma on 5 August at the Lagos Central Prison.

Prison officials confirmed that he had been receiving limited medical care due to resource constraints.

Human‑rights groups called for an independent review of prison health services, citing the case as evidence of systemic neglect.

The Ministry of Interior pledged to allocate additional funds for inmate medical treatment.
