“Brother Ekeobong leaves behind a loving wife and two young children. His untimely departure has left his family, friends, and the entire community heartbroken.”
The community also appealed to Nigerians in the UK to support the bereaved family in this difficult time.
The post read, “We are calling on everyone to contribute towards raising funds to give our dear brother a befitting burial and to help ease the burden on his grieving wife and young children.”
It added that no contribution was too small, noting that every donation, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference and be deeply appreciated.

It prayed for strength for the deceased’s wife and children and for the peaceful repose of Mr Ekeobong’s soul.
