TRAGIC COVID STORY: Ida Ivowi’s three younger brothers who live in Luton had all fallen ill from the coronavirus in April and died within nine days of each other. Ida was in shock when one brother had died within hours of being admitted to hospital and tried to come up with a plan of telling her youngest, who has Down’s syndrome, of the death. But just over a week later, he too would die from the virus.
Olume Ivowi (46) died on Easter Friday in Luton and his brother Isi (38) who had Down’s syndrome, died on April 19 in Milton Keynes. They are survived by their older brother Osi (51) also from Milton Keynes. I worked closely with the Campaign organiser and Ida (their sister) to set up multiple national press interviews with the Guardian, the BBC and PA.
