In an Instagram tribute, Duru described his son as a fearless lion who fought tirelessly for his life.

The actor’s emotional post expressed acceptance, faith, and eternal love for his late son. “My champ! My lion… you fought like a lion… if this is the way He wants it, so be it. I still judge you faithful… Ifeanyi, my champ… I will miss you, son… will forever love you… Rest in peace, son… rest… I give you thanks, Lord!”

Thediscovererng.com reports that this tragic loss follows closely on the heels of comedian Aphrican Ace and his wife’s devastating loss of their premature newborn son, who succumbed to a bacterial infection.

The Nigerian entertainment industry is reeling from these consecutive losses, with skit maker Akika (Olagunju Solomon Olamide) having lost his son on Father’s Day last year.
