It is unknown when the dad died and what led to his demise, but the striker announced the death just hours after he played for Watford in their FA Cup semi-final 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley.
Ighalo was hoping to emulate the likes of Daniel Amokachi, Kanu Nwankwo, and Mikel Obi who have lifted the FA Cup with their respective English clubs.
Yannick Bolasie gave Palace a sixth-minute lead in London, but Watford levelled the scores 10 minutes into the second period when captain Troy Deeney headed home from close range.
Palace, however, regained the lead just past the hour-mark as Connor Wickham’s clever header proved enough to send Alan Pardew’s side into the FA Cup final, where they will meet Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United.
