How Aki a.k.a Chinedu Ikedieze's father died

It is usually devastating losing loved ones, especially those you have shared strong intimacy and affinity with over the years.

In fact, watching such persons die could be very heart breaking and demoralizing.

Such was the fate of Nollywood star Chinedu Ikedieze, famously known as Aki, who cried, cursed and wailed endlessly upon hearing the sad news of his father’s exit, a couple of days ago.

If tears could bring back the dead, Aki’s immeasurable sobs would have done that the day his septuagenarian father, Pa Michael Ikedieze Ogbonna, passed on at the age of 73.

Recounting the painful episode of how his dear dad breathed his last in an exclusive chat with...
ACTION!, the happily married entertainer, who struggled to hold back tears, affirmed it was a destructive demise.

“I still cannot believe that my dear dad is gone. My dad breathed his last on Saturday, May 18, after a brief illness in a hospital somewhere in Abia State. He was a very nice man who never hurt a fly. A jolly good fellow and full of life, even in death…”

On what he would miss most about his late father and the patriarch of the Ikedieze family, Aki, a proud holder of the Member of the Federal Republic (MFR), national honour, waxed philosophical.

“I will miss a lot of things about him, he was a great and irreplaceable dad. I will most especially miss his fatherly advice and huge role in the family. He was my friend and we discussed like mates. I could always count on him. He also taught me how to persevere,” Aki recollects in a voice filled with agony.

Not done yet with lamentations over the loss of his father, the Mass Communication graduate of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu State, further divulged that plans were on to immortalize Pa Ikedieze.

“About plans to immortalize my late father, yes, we hope to do so very soon. But what is paramount now is giving him a befitting burial. His remains will be interred on June 22, at Uzuakoli, Abia State. Sincerely, I will be honoured by your esteemed presence…”He pleaded.

Meanwhile, several of Aki’s pals and colleagues have been calling to console and commiserate with the bereaved thespian.
