Menegian Saro-Wiwa, son of late activist and playwright, Ken Saro-Wiwa has died from coronavirus complications in a London hospital.
The news of his death was broken by his sister, Noo Saro-Wiwa on her Facebook Page on Thursday.
She said her brother had Coronavirus, combined with underlying health conditions, which led to his death.
Noo wrote: “We said goodbye to my brother, Gian, on Monday. He had Covid-19 combined with underlying health conditions. Gian was the smartest and most talented out of all of us: a champion sprinter at school, a poet, an artist, budding engineer, a self-taught guitarist and pianist. But mental health issues limited his life from age 16 onwards.
I took this photo of him a few months ago before he was hospitalised. We were singing Hysteria by Def Leppard, a song we both love. Although the side-effects of medication altered his athletic physique, this photo still captures Gian’s essence: a kind and beautiful soul, always wanting the best for his family, always praying for our future success while being eternally optimistic about his own and of course, always loving his music. He leaves a wonderful son, Louis.”
