The traditional ruler of Nwafia community in Njikoka local government area of Anambra state, Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo has lost his son in far away United States of America.

His son, Prince Daniel Kanayo Nwankwo died of tumor challenges which according to the monarch Kanayo fought "with such bravery that I didn't think he would ever leave us this early, at the peak of his life".

He described his son as "brilliant" and, one who cherished "value of family" very highly.

In statement, the traditional ruler bemoaned his deceased son thus:
"Death is a natural phenomenon, but at what age and time? Kanayo was very brilliant, as well às my other children. His resilience was incredible. He fought tumor with such bravery that I didn't think he would ever leave us this early, at the peak of his life. In August of this year, I made secret efforts to go and see him, but he never responded. That's when I knew something was wrong. A mutual friend of the family put him in her "WILL" before her death, but nobody was able to determine the particular of this "WILL," but I found it and delivered a phone number to him, yet he didn't respond. After a day or two, he simply replied, "Did Grandma come with you?" I replied no. My mother prayed for Kanayo relentlessly with my sisters and co prayers. Kanayo knew the value of family. He kept in touch with every family member who had a means of communication . He was constantly in touch with his younger brother Ezinma. They visited each other between Florida and New Hampshire. What a great pedigree? We were constantly in touch with each other during his marital problem, his work concerns. He told me everything and I advised him and he took my advice with great appreciation. He had achieved a lot, a son and a daughter, house and manager. I did a lot of research on cancer, and we discussed it. During the course of my research, I found that cancer runs in his maternal lineage. I was so down on Sunday (5th November 2023), even though I had a cold, I couldn't figure it out until my son Ezinma delivered the news 1:45am Tuesday.
Kanayo, I know your soul is already in heaven and in peace because you fought bravery.

Rip may the family bear the loss

Sadly after unfortunately fighting the tumor for long but at last he couldn't make it alive.

I prayed he rest in peace and his entire family accept his demise in good faith
AMEN.

Nawfia
