OJUKWU FAMILY AT WAR AS THE WORLD MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSSARY OF HIS DEATH

Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu

As Nigerians and those that believe in the spirit of biafra mark the first remembrance of the late Ikemba of Nnewi and leader of the defunct Biafra Republic Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, A silent war seems to be brewing between Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Odumegwu Ojukwu and Directors of Ojukwu Transport Limited, OTL, who are brothers of her late spouse, has blown open as both parties have dragged themselves before High Courts of Lagos state to determine who controls the landed property belonging to the company.

This latest war blew open just as the Ojukwu family had concluded plans to mark the first anniversary of Ojukwu’s death at Nnewi today. 

Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was the son of one of Nigerias first Industrialist and Multi Millionaire Business man Sir Loius Ojukwu and he died on November 26, 2011 at a London hospital at the age of 78.

Masquerade234 gathered that the crisis between both parties is over the over the control of some property which were left by their Billionaire father, Sir Luois Ojukwu under his company’s name, OTL, for decades. 

Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was one of the directors of the company and apart from living in one of the property at Ikoyi which he vacated and relocated to Enugu over 10 years ago, Ojukwu was also involved in managing some of the property.
These property which were at a time compulsorily acquired by the Federal Government were later released to OTL and the late Dim Ojukwu continued to manage some of them until his demise last year.

The property in contention

The property include those situated at 58, Ibadan Street, Ebute Metta, Yaba, Lagos; 29, Queens Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos where Ojukwu once resided, 41 Macpherson Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos, 13 Hawksworth Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, 14 Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, 2A and 2B Park Close, Apapa, Lagos, 32A Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Lagos, Nnewi Building, 1/3 Creek Close, Apapa, Lagos, 120 Agege Motor Road, Mushin, Lagos, 4A and 4B Park Close, Apapa, Lagos, 196 Igbosere Road, Lagos, 15 Oshodi Street, Lagos and 15/16 Forces Avenue, Port Harcourt.

Masquerade234 wonder why the family of this great man would want to wash their dirty linens in public as the family marks the first anniverssary of the death of a great Igbo son, the Eze Igbo GBURUGBURU. However some Nigerian youths still had time to celebrate the leader of the defunct biafra and the only leader of the 21st century Africa to be followed wholeheartedly by his people.
