Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze loses mother after brief illness
Super Eagles winger and Fulham forward Samuel Chukwueze is mourning the death of his mother after a brief illness. The sad news was made public by his brother, David Chukwueze, who shared emotional tributes on his Instagram story. In his posts, he wrote messages such as “Can’t even post your picture to say RIP Mum,” “My forever love just left me without saying goodbye,” and “You didn’t even carry your grandchild.” Samuel Chukwueze, who was part of the Super Eagles squad that finished third at the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, has not yet issued a public reaction. Earlier in the week, Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi also lost his father in a car accident, making it a particularly difficult period for the national team.
