Late Chief Emeka Odumegwu’s eldest son, Chief Debe Odumegwu-Ojukwu has slammed a N100 million suit against Bianca and six other members of the family for allegedly preventing him from performing the dust-to-dust rites during the burial of his father, and managing his late father’s estate.
Also joined in the legal battle are Ojukwu Transport Limited, Professor Joseph O. Ojukwu, Engineer Emmanuel N. Ojukwu, Mr. Lotanna Ojukwu, Emeka Ojukwu, Mr. Patrick Ojukwu, Mrs. Margret Mogbo, Nee Ojukwu, the Inspector-General of Police and Mr. Ibrahim Mukhtar, former Commissioner of Police Anambra State, now an Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG.
Part of the litigation filed at a Federal High Court in Lagos, by his counsel Mike Ozekhome (SAN), claimed that Professor Joseph Ojukwu, Engineer Emmanuel Ojukwu and Lotanna Ojukwu threatened to maim or kill him if he did not cease forthwith from interfering with the management of the property owned by Ojukwu Transport and the late Sir Louis Ojukwu. He added that they also barred him from attending the burial of his late father despite the fact that he spent over N100 million during the funeral.
He said up till today, they are still threatening him on the basis of the circumstances of his birth, claiming that he is not the legitimate son of his late father.
The presiding judge, Justice Okon Abang has adjourned the case till 13 December, 2012 for hearing.
Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu and others mentioned in the case have not filed any defence.
