Veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi has
revealed that her 15-year-old son, Raymond Ekwu, was mistakenly killed by a
doctor.
She made the revelation while
explaining why she decided to celebrate his 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.
In a chat with Saturday Beats,
the actress said: "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.”
