Twin sisters who work in the medical field die in Yobe State after illness linked to sickle cell disease, family members say. One sister is described as a doctor and the other as a pharmacist, and they die days apart, with one source placing the interval at within 48 hours.
Both outlets attribute the deaths to complications following separate sickle cell crises. The family and community are reported to be in mourning following the loss of two health professionals within a short period. While the reports do not add further details about the circumstances of each death beyond the sickle cell-related illness, they agree on the core facts: the sisters are twins, they are medical professionals, they die in Yobe, and sickle cell disease is the condition cited by relatives.
