A 36-year-old United States-based Nigerian cardiologist, Ikenna Erinne, has reportedly committed suicide after losing a child case to his yet-to-be-identified ex-wife.

The incident was said to have occurred on Sunday, January 26.

It was gathered that the Anambra-state-born late doctor had a prolonged divorce battle with his estranged wife, including the custody of their children.

He, however, lost the case after a US court ruled in favour of his ex-wife and ordered him to pay a monthly child of $15,000.
Confirming the incident in a post shared on X.com, a Nigerian-American, Clayton Udo, said the court’s verdict took a severe financial toll on him, leading to his tragic death.

He wrote, “The abuse of African men in the USA must come to an end. In a deeply troubling case, Dr. Ikenna Erinne, an American-trained cardiologist, allegedly took his own life after an American court ordered him to pay his ex-wife $15,000 monthly, following a prolonged and contentious divorce case. This tragic incident highlights the systemic issues within the legal system that disproportionately affect African men.”

Udo, who claimed to be an expert in psychological and mental abuse, revealed that the deceased had spent thousands of dollars in legal fees before the court’s verdict turned out in favour of his ex-wife.

He further explained that the late doctor lost his license as a cardiologist to the case, adding that he died after shooting himself.
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,” he added.

Another member of the Nigerian community in the United States, Obim Onujiogu, also confirmed Erinne’s death in a post on Facebook.

Onujiogu described him as a comionate healer and devoted family man.

He, however, disclosed that his funeral would be held Monday in Maryland, the United States.

Onujiogu wrote, “In Loving Memory of Dr. Ikenna C. Erinne. It is with heavy hearts that the ASA DC family announces the sudden and untimely ing of Dr. Ikenna Erinne Dr. Ikenna C. Erinne, was a beloved father, son, brother, and esteemed cardiologist, who departed on January 26, 2025.

"Born on March 4, 1988, Dr. Erinne was a comionate healer and devoted family man. He is survived by his children Ugonna and Munachi, parents Engr. Chris and Mrs. Chinwe Erinne, and siblings Chuks, Onyi, Kenny, and Gechi.

“A celebration of Life will be held on Monday, February 3, 2025, at Gary L. Kaufman Funeral Home in Elkridge, MD, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM , followed by interment at Meadowridge Memorial Park.”

I'd rather just return back to Nigeria.
Get in some circle, and get licensed to practice in Nigeria.

American-trained, your private practice go too boom.

But, I guess, the mind wants what it wants. I hope he didn't do it to spite the wife and the US Legal system sha.

Life is too sweet to do that, even in bad times!

Stop marrying these wayward gals that have been totally traumatised during their run gal days. Avoid them. They have damaged themselves beyond repair and are nothing but walking disasters. The ex is somewhere having fun. Jezebel has moved on and will never feel any pain over this. Men! Save yourselves!!!

Look for cultures that are still traditional and marry from there. Whether in Africa or Asia oo. Marry her and treat her nice. But you see most of these "money for hand back for ground" girls you guys pick off the streets once you visit home, they are wild hyenas. You can't domestic a wild hyena.. Loyalty is not the strongest point..

He can never rest in peace. He is a disgrace to Men and Igboland.
We have warned Nigerians if you must travel, don't travel with your wife for your sanity and health but they refused and call us all sorts of derogatory names.
Another person will fall victim today and tomorrow they will not learn.
I hope Trump will address this issues

This man died a fool. He gave up on life too cowardly. There is nothing like "a worst-case scenario". Nothing you can't come out of. He is even educated and a doctor.
You are a Nigerian right? America took your license right? Fvck that! Come back to Nigeria and start again. At 35 many people are still dilly-dallying on what to do with their lives but you have yours sorted out already.

I am very glad my divorce case was in Nigeria. No carry woman go obodo oyibo especially America una no dey hear.

He could have migrated to another country. It's hard getting custody of kids from their mum. If the differences can't be reconciled, start another family 💯. Most workers in USA earn $5K per month. She was a gold digger right from day one. $15K plus losing license ☠️, WTF. He might be earning up to $20-$30K dollars as a cardiologist monthly though.

I share the same view bro. However, my children may be allowed to relocate to the west for schooling and in career pursuit but my wife will only get the opportunity to go on vacation.

It's actually not about the judge; it's about the template and how the country is structured. You can't hide your income unless you are a businessman or a musician and can declare some kind of bankruptcy. There's a template to follow when there's a divorce, and there's a sharing formula that mostly favors women. It is working for them because, in most cases, men won't take care of the children just to spite the woman, and that's how you raise uneducated children and Boko Haram

But why can't he just leave USA and go to another country to start a new life. I just feel there are several options instead of suicide. I know America is a good country but there are cases you just have to run for your life.
