Nigerian rapist dies of brain cancer in prison

Davies, a British citizen convicted of multiple sexual assaults, had been incarcerated at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre for eight years.

Hospital records show he was diagnosed with glioblastoma in early 2025 but received only limited treatment due to prison medical constraints.

Human‑rights groups filed a petition demanding an independent investigation into prison health standards.

The Ministry of Interior responded that it would review medical provisions for all inmates to prevent similar tragedies.
