Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze is mourning the death of his mother, Mrs Sarah Chukwueze, following a brief illness. Although Samuel Chukwueze has not yet released an official statement, the posts offered a glimpse into the depth of the loss. “The National Sports Commission is deeply saddened by the confirmed passing of Mrs Sarah Chukwueze, mother of Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze,” the statement said, noting that the family had publicly announced her passing. Chukwueze, who recently featured for the Super Eagles at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where Nigeria finished third, is yet to speak publicly on the loss. The sad development comes only days after Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi also lost his father, Sunday Ndidi, in a fatal road accident in Delta State, casting a pall over the national team camp.
