The tragedy occurred amidst a prolonged and contentious divorce battle, which saw Erinne ordered to pay $15,000 in monthly child support to his ex-wife.

According to reports, Erinne had spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, only to lose custody of his children and face significant financial burdens.

A Nigerian-American, Clayton Udo, took to X to express his outrage and sadness over the incident.

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 di.ed after shooting himself.
