• Claire Chadwick, 40, relocated from Wales to Nigeria after marrying her husband, Ibrahim, and built a social media following through their TikTok videos.

The couple attracted thousands of followers on social media through videos that documented their relationship, married life, faith and food challenges.

Speaking about her late sister, Shannon said Claire loved dancing, making jokes and expressing herself without worrying about other people's opinions.
