The mourning father described Ifeanyi as a “champion” and a “warrior” who fought with great courage.
“My champ! My lion, you fought like a lion. If this is how it is meant to be, so be it. I still consider you faithful,” he expressed in an Instagram post on Thursday, accompanied by a photo of his late child.
“Ifeanyi, my champ. I will miss you, son. I will always love you. Rest in peace, son…rest…I give thanks to you, Lord!”
The unexpected news shocked fans and colleagues, especially since Duru had recently celebrated Ifeanyi’s 15th birthday in December 2023.
Since the announcement, his Instagram posts have been flooded with messages of condolence, offering comfort to the grieving actor and his family. Well-wishers have also expressed their sympathy on X.
