Super Eagles Star Samuel Chukwueze Loses Mother After Brief Illness

Nigeria’s footballing community is in mourning again as Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze has lost his mother. This is coming barely 48 hours after Super Eagles captain, Wilfred Ndidi, lost his father in a fatal motor accident.
Reports emerged on Thursday afternoon confirming her passing following a brief period of illness. This tragic news comes at a time when the AC Milan star is balancing demanding club duties. The player’s family has yet to issue an official statement regarding the specific cause of her death.

Mrs. Chukwueze played a foundational role in the career of the talented Nigerian international. She famously supported his early footballing ambitions in Umuahia, Abia State, during his formative years. Her dedication helped propel him from local grassroots football to the heights of European success. Consequently, her passing is a devastating personal blow to the 26-year-old winger and his siblings.

The Nigerian football fraternity has begun sending condolences to the former Villarreal attacker. Teammates from the Super Eagles and officials from the Nigeria Football Federation have expressed their deep sympathies. Many fans remember her as a constant source of inspiration for the pacy forward. The AC Milan hierarchy is also expected to grant the player compassionate leave to return home.

Burial arrangements will be announced by the family once they conclude necessary private consultations in Abia. Chukwueze is known for his close relationship with his mother, often dedicating his successes to her. This loss will undoubtedly cast a shadow over his upcoming professional fixtures in the Italian Serie A. The entire nation stands in solidarity with the “Chukwueze” family during this season of grief.
