Actress says her son was mistakenly killed by doctors

Eucharia Anunobi has revealed that her son, Raymond was mistakenly killed by doctors.

The veteran actress revealed this while granting an interview with Saturday Beats and also talked about why she celebrated her son’s posthumous birthday.

“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,” she said.

It would be recalled that Eucharia Anunobi visited the motherless babies home to celebrate her son’s 16th birthday, a tradition she said she would continue to maintain.

In another interview she granted, she also lamented on how she misses her late son and how his absence has made her house silent.

Eucharia Anunobi lost her son, Raymond to sickle cell anaemia, on August 22, 2017, he died at the age of 15 and was a product of the marriage between her and ex-husband, Charles Ekwu.
