Anyiam Osigwe and her entire family are currently mourning the sudden and
painful death of one of her elder brothers, Michael Anyiam Osigwe. The business
man who resides in Lagos was recently killed by suspected armed robbers.
The late Michael was until his death, the
Co-ordinator General of the Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe Foundation and a member of its
Board of Trustees.
The victim, according to onfo at our disposal was
said to be on his way to an engagement in Nkwerre, his home town in Imo State
on Saturday, when suspected armed robbers attacked his car on the Ore-Benin
Road and shot him on the chest during the attack.
Our correspondent learnt that he was rushed to
the EKO Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos, where he began receiving treatment for
gunshot injuries.
However, he was said to have given up the ghost
on Sunday evening, after the doctors at the hospital tried in vain to save his
life.
A statement by one of his six brothers, Charles,
a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent, confirmed the incident.
It read in part, “With grief and deep sense of
sorrow, but with total submission to the will of the Almighty God who gives and
recalls, the Anyiam-Osigwe family announces the untimely passing to eternal
glory of Nze Michael Anyiam-Osigwe.
“Michael was killed by armed robbers who operated
on the Ore-Benin Road, near the Okada Junction, in the afternoon of 29th
November 2014 at about 2.30pm.”
The statement added that Michael was survived by
his mother, Chief Dorothy, his wife, Okiemute, five children, six brothers and
a sister, among others.
