Character:Nyah Egwu

Nyah Egwu was a police officer in Durban, South Africa during the late 2000s. She died in 2010, during an attempt to defend an elderly woman from a drunk neighbor in the slum district.

Her family, who were relatively wealthy, migrated to South Africa by ship in 1995 after decades of political instability in their homeland of Nigeria. She was 12 years old at the time.

She has been a fan of football (soccer) since shortly after her family migrated, when she began playing it with other children who had been using a plastic jug as a football.

Her best friend was killed in a home invasion in 1998, leading to her desire to become a police officer. She had been a member of the South African Police Service in Durban for 3 years when she was killed in the line of duty.

Post-Resurrection
Nyah was invited to a Law Enforcement school, where she graduated at the top of her class. After training, she joined the San Isidro Police Department, where she works as an officer to this day.
