Dr. Ikenna married to the worst family in the world.

I just wonder how the friends couldnt rally round and help him get stable mentally at his darkest moment

you don't know Francis van lare?😕 That man is something else. Infact I can't even define him. Check him out on Facebook

May the young man's soul rest in peace

Its sad this is coming from an in-law, imagine this statement, like are they waiting for the young man to do the unthinkable before he finally started saying his family can take care of the children left behind. So they can also take care of the children and have left all the weights for the man to bear, as he walked his darkest moments alone and later took his life.

The in-law is clearly showing The hatred they had for him all along. It shows in his statements. Then why coming to the public to clear which air. Too bad.
So he should come and support criminal and violence son in law?

Entitlement? Have you consider the medical condition of the child huh Medication bills, feeding huh What of if the mom is unable to work due to the child condition undecided don't forget that a 2nd child is there too.
Welfare support will be made available to her.
Were all that not being taken care of before the separation? May be the wife was contributing too when they were together but the judgement placed every penny on him after the separation plus extra payment too which was likely to be the case here.

I think he deserves to be insensitive considering that the Dr. Ikenna held his ex-wife, nanny and his own children at gun point. He shot himself when police showed up
In that case, if he wanted to kill them, he would have done so before the police arrived. There was a thread here about Nigerian men killing their wives (nurses) in USA after those ones made their life a living hell. This one did well, he didn't harm anyone

Why am I not surprised?

See the kind of Father-in-law the poor man went to have.

He went to marry from a Philandering Family.

A shameless Father-in-law with a long list of his sexual escapades all over the internet.

Ladies be very careful the type of family you marry from.
Chai sad

The reason is not understandable.

It is a huge weight that rests on the shoulders of the "breadwinner", from a position of entitlement and inconsideration.

Now that he's gone, I'm sure the parties that thought it reasonable can produce the same output.

Apparently he held them hostage and it was the house help who escaped and alerted the police before he turned the gun on himself since kidnapping already carried a lot of years.

The whole situation is unfortunate.

May his soul rest in peace.

The wedding was cancelled by the late dr at the last minute, for reasons best known to them. To add to that they were about to hold both trad and white in America!! Who does that? Dem dey tap palm wine for america huh

Sounds like a situation with too many people trying to outsmart themselves. Though I empathise with the man and especially the innocent kids.

The father-in-law is very stupid for making such insensitive comments.

You did not know that the doctor was mentally unstable when you dragged him to court for monthly $15k.

Useless man.
It was the same shameless old man that posted pics of the women he slept with a while back. He even trended.
Re: Late Dr. Ikenna’s Father-In-Law Reveals Reason For $15,000 Child Support by EchoEnigma: 4:48pm On Feb 03, 2025
They should have settled this amicably without going to court. But regardless, why would you take your life over taking care of your kids? Why would he do something so selfish? He took the coward's way out.

You don't know how these exes with the legal system on their side usually make the life of their partners a hell. She would never reason with him. Would they even involve the court if it was possible for them to agree between themselves?
Lawyers are one of the major problem. I believe they once Loved themselves and the welfare of the children can be settled between themselves.
We seen many cases like this, were child support is agreed between both parents, with Court

There some judge that lawyers like avoiding during child support, because their judgement is always one sided

Now that the young man is dead, will the wife not still take care of that medically challenged child and the others?

The husband is a medical doctor who's well aware of what it costs to take care of his children monthly. Would he have gone berserk if he felt the $15,000 was justified?
.


Very valid question.

If Mr.Van-Lare has a son of marriageable age,I hope his son gets into a situation such as this and let’s see what happens.
Every statement he made sounds annoying and very insensitive.
His grandchildren will grow up to know the truth eventually.
My deepest condolences to the family of the late Doctor.

You are don't think? Probably you don't know that he could literally slaving for that amount monthly for the rest of his life.
Childe support payment case review is normal, especially if salary cut happens, bankruptcy, etc.
But with the word of the father in-law, I can see interference in the marriage

Francis Van-Lare, the father-in-law of the late US-based Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ikenna Erinne, has shed light on the reason for the hefty child support.

In a Facebook post, Van-Lare dismissed allegations against his late son-in-law while clarifying the reasons behind the $15,000 child support order imposed on him.


This came amid the backlash trailing the Van-Lare family, suggesting that the hefty child support triggered the reaction which led to the doctor’s suicide.

“To set records straight, Dr. Ikenna Erinne’s license was never revoked. He had active licenses in Illinois, New York, Virginia, and Maryland. One state cannot revoke all licenses at once, and none were revoked,” Van-Lare stated.

Addressing the hefty child support payment, he explained that the sum was determined due to the special care required for Erinne’s physically challenged son.

“The child support was set that much because he has a physically challenged son needing special care from different medical facilities, plus attending a special needs school that costs money. Courts consider the income of both parents before making decisions,” he added.

Van-Lare expressed his disappointment over Erinne’s actions, stating, “He is not a victim but failed his son and daughter, who are now left without their father. I just thank God he did not shoot my daughter and grandchildren in his madness.”

Questioning the rationale behind taking one’s own life over financial obligations, he added, “Which sane person takes his own life over money he is supposed to use to support his children? He was asked to pay child support, not alimony or spousal support, as my daughter is self-sufficient.”

Despite his critical remarks, Van-Lare extended his condolences. “May his soul rest in peace regardless. My family will raise the children without him.”

That's Francis Van-Lare, the baddest Nigerian Mr. Lover and grandpops! It's a small world. I never knew that it's his daughter that was married to this young doc that took his life on the 26th of January 2025. It's great though that he didn't shoot his special needs son, daughter, nanny and Van-Lare's daughter.

I'm certain Ikenna was depressed over something and perhaps was saddened that he had a son living with special needs and just didn't know how to handle the situation.
We just might NEVER know the full story if he didn't tell anyone. That can take a huge emotional toll on parents if the child has Down's Syndrome or is autistic.

Is it that difficult for a medical doctor living and working in USA to afford 15,000 Dollars (about N22,315,000)?

Na wa for una ooo

No wonder people living in Nigeria and doing well, build better and more expensive houses in Nigeria than these stingy Nigerian immigrants living in this abroad.

Do you even know what $15,000 is? $15,000? Monthly? Well, like the man said, the court considers both parties' incomes before deciding.

On the other thread about the guy killing himself, some people were throwing silly figures around like 500k, 700k even 1 million as a cardiologist salary so no problem paying 180k a year in child support. If you think this guy is going home with 500k a year as a doctor that finished his residency just recently in like 2020 from what I read on that thread you obviously have no clue about doctors salaries in the US. So yes 180k a year in child support is enough for him to go berserk even if he still have a valid medical license, or have you forgotten the hefty student loans he is paying back.
