A former governor of old Anambra State, Senator Jim Nwobodo, has lost his son, Ifeanyichukwu, to cancer.
Nwobodo junior reportedly died at a private hospital in Enugu on Friday.
It was learnt that the deceased recently returned from Huston Texas, US, where he
had received treatment for the ailment.
The father of the deceased, Nwobodo
senior, while receiving the Ebonyi State Governor, Martin Elechi, who
paid him a condolence visit on Sunday, said the late Ifeanyichukwu was
discharged after receiving treatment at one of the best cancer
facilities in the US, before he returned to the country.
Nwobodo said that the family even had a
thanksgiving service two weeks ago to mark Ifeanyichukwu’s recovery, and
that all was well with him, before he suddenly passed on, after
complaining of pain on his leg.
Elechi, who expressed sadness at the
development, prayed God to grant the deceased’s family the fortitude to
bear the irreparable loss.
The late Ifeanyichukwu, a medical
doctor, served as the commissioner for science and technology in the
past state administration.
He was married with children.
