Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze is mourning the death of his mother, Mrs Sarah Chukwueze, following a brief illness.
While the AC Milan winger did not make a public announcement, the sad news was first shared by his brother, David Chukwueze, who posted a series of emotional tributes on Instagram reflecting the family’s grief.
In one post, David wrote, “Can’t even post your picture to say RIP mum.” In another, he added, “My forever love just left me without saying goodbye,” while also saying, “You didn’t even carry your grandchild.”
The development was later officially confirmed by the National Sports Commission in a statement issued on Thursday. The Commission disclosed that Mrs Chukwueze passed away after a brief illness, noting that the announcement had already been made public by members of the family.
