Super Eagles and Fulham FC winger, Samuel Chukwueze, has been thrown into mourning following the death of his mother.
The sad news was announced by his brother, David Chukwueze, through a series of emotional posts shared on his Instagram story. In the messages, David expressed deep grief over the loss, revealing the pain the family is currently enduring.
“Can’t even post your picture to say RIP Mum,” he wrote in one post. In another, he added, “My forever love just left me without saying goodbye,” while a third message read, “You didn’t even carry your grandchild.”
The emotional tributes reflected the depth of the family’s loss and the close bond they shared with their late mother. As of the time of filing this report, Samuel Chukwueze has not made any public statement regarding the tragedy.
The bereavement comes at a difficult time for the Super Eagles forward, who recently featured for Nigeria at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where the national team finished in third place after an impressive campaign. Chukwueze played a key role during the tournament and was praised for his commitment and performances on the pitch.
The news also adds to a wave of recent personal losses within the Super Eagles camp. Earlier this week, Nigeria’s team captain, Wilfred Ndidi, reportedly lost his father in a fatal car accident, casting a somber mood over the national team and its supporters.
Fans, teammates and members of the football community have begun to express condolences to the Chukwueze family, offering prayers and words of comfort during this difficult period.
Samuel Chukwueze remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football talents, admired not only for his skill and pace on the field but also for his humility off it. Many supporters have taken to social media to send messages of support, urging him to stay strong as he navigates this painful loss.
