A lady named Nanichi Anese, had on June 29, 2020, accused the 23-year-old creative designer of harassment – not rape as widely claimed by friends who were angered by Izu’s demise.

Izu reached out to Nani to find out who he had harassed she refused to release the lady’s identity as she had sworn to protect their identities.

On July 17, Izu, an Anambra State indigene later tweeted through Crowdfire app that he had killed himself. Crowdfire app allows users to schedule their posts.

Punch contacted the Tampa Police Department and The Public Information Office of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office told the publication that Izu shot himself on Thursday, July 16, 2020.

Izuchukwu Madubueze was the victim of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on July 16, 2020. The case is open and active and no further information will be provided at this time,” Deputy Travis Sibley, a spokesman for the office said.

Izu’s family, in a statement on Wednesday, expressed sadness at the death, describing it as shocking.

The statement read in part, “Sincerely, a part of us has been chipped away forever. Izu was a truly inspiring and kind-hearted young man, who always tried to positively impact the lives of everyone he came across. He was accused of ‘non-physical sexual assault’ and his name added to an unauthorised sex offenders/rape list.

 

“Pleading his innocence, Izu tried his best to reach out to his anonymous accuser and the peddler of this list, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. He battled with the unimaginable pain of seeing his credible name and brand, which he laboured to build for six years, go to waste over these questionable allegations, which go against his family and societal values. Broken by the stigma of these events, he chose to depart this world.”
