Super Eagles and Fulham FC star, Samuel Chukwueze, has been thrown into mourning following the death of his mother.
The sad news was announced by his brother, David Chukwueze, who took to his Instagram story to share emotional messages in tribute to their late mother.
In separate posts, he wrote: “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.”
Chukwueze, who was part of the Super Eagles squad that finished third at the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, is yet to publicly react to the loss.
The development comes just days after another Super Eagles player and team captain, Wilfred Ndidi, lost his father in a fatal car accident.
