US-Based Nigerian Doctor Takes His Own Life After The Courts Awarded His Ex-Wife $15,000 A Month In Child Support
"A shocking tragedy has rocked the Nigerian community after Dr. Ikenna Erinne, a US-based cardiologist, took his own life following a heated custody battle that resulted in a $15,000-a-month child support ruling. But as more details emerge, the story becomes even darker—his final moments were far more disturbing than anyone initially believed.
According to Francis Van-Lare, the father of Erinne’s estranged partner, the doctor held his ex and their children hostage at gunpoint for three hours before police arrived. It was then that he turned the weapon on himself, choosing to end his life rather than face the serious kidnapping charges that could have resulted in a life sentence.
Van-Lare, a well-known socialite, revealed this chilling information on Facebook, responding to rumors that Erinne’s ex-partner was a white woman who manipulated the legal system against him. In reality, she was an Igbo woman—and the two had never married, as Erinne had previously called off the wedding due to family concerns.
The shocking incident has ignited heated debates online. Some believe Erinne’s tragic end is a harsh reminder of the mental health struggles men face, particularly in high-stakes custody battles. Others argue that it highlights flaws in the family court system, which often places crippling financial burdens on fathers. Meanwhile, some have focused on the importance of choosing a partner wisely, warning that unresolved trauma from past relationships can create dangerous cycles.
Regardless of the discourse, one fact remains: there are no winners in this tragedy. As Van-Lare himself stated, “Everyone is a loser here… No winners.” May Dr. Ikenna Erinne rest in peace." - Nigeria News | Video by
