Uzochukwu Davis Igboanugo, a 32-year-old medical doctor, met an untimely demise in a tragic car accident in the United States, leaving his family and community in deep mourning.

His father, Chief I.K.B. Igboanugo, a respected Igbo industrialist and the founder of I.K.B Industries Limited, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a poignant Facebook post on Monday, May 13, 2024.

According to Chief Igboanugo’s account, the fatal incident occurred three weeks prior when Uzochukwu was returning home from work. A drunk driver, speeding on the highway and falling asleep at the wheel, veered into Uzochukwu’s lane, colliding with his car.

Expressing profound sorrow, Chief Igboanugo eulogized his son, describing him as a remarkable individual endowed with qualities of contentment, wisdom, sociability, kindness, and love.

He wrote: “I lost 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 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 the final decision.

“Always pray as a parent not to lose any of your child irrespective of his behaviour because 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 32yrs 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. Pls 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.”
