Uzochukwu Davis Igboanugo, the son of Chief I.K.B. Igboanugo, a prominent businessman and founder of I.K.B Industries Limited, has tragically died in the United States.
The 32-year-old Nigerian doctor, who was based in the US, sustained fatal injuries three weeks ago in a car accident while driving home from work.
Chief I.K.B. Igboanugo confirmed the devastating news in a Facebook post on Monday, May 13. He explained that the accident was caused by a drunk driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel while speeding on the highway. This driver veered into oncoming traffic, colliding with Uzochukwu’s vehicle, resulting in the fatal incident.
In a lengthy painful post on his Facebook page, Igboanugo wrote: “l lost this my son 3 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 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 the final decision. Always pray as a parent not to lose any of your child irrespective of his behavior 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 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 also has not been herself.
“Pis(sic) don’t wish your worst enemy this type of tragedy, now I pray for anybody who has not lost his child never to 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 🙏”
