Olabisi Abubakar was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and mind was ‘thrown off balance’ during Covid lockdown
after she died morbidly obese, having been neglected during lockdown.
Plaid Cymru’s home affairs and justice spokesperson, Liz Saville Roberts, said: “This tragic case highlights the alarming failure of public services on multiple levels. There should be an investigation into why Olabisi Abubakar was placed in Cardiff away from her family and support network in London, and into the absence of social support that could have detected issues. We must learn from this heartbreaking incident.
A friend who tried to help said she was given £35 a week to live on, which was not enough as she had to send money to family in Nigeria. When lockdown was imposed in March 2020 she was frightened and stayed inside with Taiwo for days, possibly weeks, on end, relying on a church friend, Chike Obi, to deliver supplies. But Abubakar stopped contacting Obi and on 29 June he got someone to let him into the house and banged on her door. Abubakar told him to phone the police.

Joe Biden has a history of ‘being critical’ of the Royal FamilyRoyal expert Kinsey Schofield says there’s a history of US President Joe Biden “being critical” of the Royal Family. “There is a history with Joe Biden, specifically in his book, he wrote about how his mother demanded that he not bow to the Queen in 1982 when he was to meet her,” Ms Schofield told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “And how I believe it was his mother or his grandmother refused to sleep in the same bed that the Queen had once slept in.” Ms Schofield’s remarks come after President Biden decided to not attend King Charles III’s coronation on May 6 – instead, First Lady Jill Biden will represent the United States at the royal event next month.
