Tuesday, 21 March 2017 Politician adopts orphaned daughter of deceased gunpowder accident victim
Mrs
Ukamaka Okeke was accidentally struck by gunpowder "egbendum" during a
burial ceremony in Anambra State last month. The mother of three had
been earning her living for decades by practicing the traditional
ovational gunshooting at events. The sad event of February 2017 got her
bedridden and gasping for life.
In came Ikay Ogbonna, a
kind-hearted Awka-based politician who kicked off a donation sprout to
sponsor a much-needed medical surgery for the widow at Orthopedic
Hospital, Enugu. Sadly, Ukamaka died in hospital on Friday 10th March
and was buried the next day.
Ikay Ogbonna and his wife has now
adopted the eldest daughter of Ukamaka, Chinaecherem Okeke, and promised
to raise the orphan to university levels. His words: "The
eldest daughter Chinaecherem Okeke (pictured here) is now the latest
member of Ikechukwu Ogbonna family courtesy of my wife Ugo-Ikay Ogbonna
and we will train her like our daughter till she is equipped enough to
cater for her family and stand on her own.
"The first son will
live with a teacher at Onitsha but will benefit from Dr. Nnamdi Okafor's
scholarship package up to Higher institution.
"The last baby
that is barely 6 years old will have a new home with Mrs. Ekwutozie
Monyei Efobi who will cater for her upkeeps till she graduates from the
university."
