“My son was mistakenly killed by the doctor.” – Mourning Eucharia Anunobi Reveals
Though veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi could have lost her 15-year-old son, Raymond Ekwu, to the cold hands of death, she has not stopped being the mother she is.
The actress and evangelist, in her show of love to her son who died due to complications from sickle cell anemia, still celebrated the son’s posthumous birthday recently.
In a recent interview with PUNCH, Anunobi revealed that her late son was not supposed to die, revealing that he was mistakenly killed by a doctor.

She made the revelation while explaining why she decided to celebrate Raymond’s posthumous birthday with the motherless babies and why she decided to give some of his personal effects to young inmates at the Special Correctional Centre for the Boys.
“I have not removed my mourning clothes, neither have I opened my hair since the death of my son. I have only been wearing white since his demise and the reason I have maintained this is because my son was a good boy to me; but he was mistakenly killed by the doctor.
My son was not supposed to die. He was a very wonderful child. I decided to honour him by marking his 16th birthday posthumously the way we normally do.
During our birthdays, we usually visited the motherless babies and show them love by donating some clothes and food to them.

This year would not be any different from the previous ones we have celebrated. I am going to do it the way my son and I had always done it and I would give out some of his personal effects.
Normally, when someone dies, you do not touch their things for about a year. For instance, if a man’s wife dies he is not expected to touch her things or dispose of them till after a year.
Initially, I decided to do the same thing but I later changed my mind and that is why I donated some of his things to a government-owned motherless babies’ home and also to the boys at the Special Correctional Centre for the Boys.
I am doing this because I am a humanitarian and to let the motherless babies know that we love them.”
Strong woman! May GOD continuously comfort you!
Rest In Peace Raymond Ekwu!
God bless her good heart.
May God continue to comfort you.
