Uzochukwu Igboanugo, a 32-year-old Nigerian doctor (ophthalmologist) working in the United States, was killed by a drunk driver.
Ikb Igboanugo, his father, said in a Facebook post that his son passed away in a deadly vehicle accident in America that was purportedly caused by a drunk driver: “I lost this, my son, three weeks ago. I have been crying like a baby. A medical doctor (ophthalmologist) in America.
“An accident victim of a drunkard, who fell asleep while speeding on the highway, jumped his lane in the opposite direction and hit with speed force on the driver’s side door where my son was as he was driving home after work.
“We can’t question God, as He has made the final decision.
“Always pray as a parent not to lose any of your children, irrespective of their behaviour, because the loss of a child can kill any parent.
“Uzochukwu, my son, was a very nice boy, always happy, intelligent, friendly, caring, loving, sociable, etc. He was 32 years old, not yet married, and despite my nagging, he sacrificed all his time and achieved Ophthalmology, which is a very difficult medical course in the history of reading medicine, to become a medical doctor.
“Since his death, I have been going through mental and psychological trauma, as my doctor has been warning me.
“My wife has also not been herself. Please don’t wish your worst enemy this type of tragedy. Now I pray for anybody who has not lost his child to never experience it. It is hellish and a disaster.
“Uzochukwu, my son, you are now in God’s bosom and working for Him; that was why he took you this early, as your soul will rest in God’s bosom in Jesus name,” the mourning father prayed.
