According to report, a United States-based Nigerian cardiologist, Ikenna Erinne, has committed suicide after losing a $15,000 child support case to his ex-wife.
According to a Nigerian-American, Clayton Udo, who posted the tragic news on X, Erinne, a 36-year-old Anambra State native, shot himself on Sunday, January 26, after a prolonged divorce battle with his estranged wife, including the custody of their children.
Udo added: “This tragic incident highlights the systemic issues within the legal system that disproportionately affect African men.”
Udo, who identified himself as an expert in psychological and mental abuse, stated that the deceased had spent thousands of dollars in legal fees before the verdict of the court favoured his ex-wife, as well as losing his license to the case.
Udo revealed: “He shot himself to death. He spent thousands of dollars in legal fees – wasted money. I am talking about a process that impoverishes you. You go to court and they take all your money.
“He lost his license as a cardiologist in this case plus they slammed on him 15,000 dollars a month plus restricted access to his children.”
