Italian media: Romelu Lukaku condemned the blackmail behavior of some family members, which prevented his father’s funeral from being held as planned

According to full market reports, Naples forward Lukaku and his brother Jordan Lukaku issued a joint statement publicly condemning the extortion behavior of some family members, which caused the funeral of their father Roger Lukaku to not be held as planned.

Their father, former Zaire international Roger Lukaku, passed away in Kinshasa, Congo on September 28 at the age of 58. According to their father's wishes, the brothers originally planned to transport the body back to Belgium and hold a funeral in Brussels. However, this plan was canceled due to "some decisions taken in Kinshasa".

The Lukaku brothers angrily pointed out in their statement that it was the "blackmail behavior of some family members" that had a devastating impact on the incident and disrupted the funeral arrangements.

They wrote: "If our father was still alive, he would never accept all this!" This family conflict also made the brothers suddenly realize: "We finally understand why our father wants us to stay away from certain family members. Some people want to destroy everything." In the end, they expressed their last love to their father.
