Emeka Ojukwu jnr. (2 from left) |
The
controversy trailing the Will of late Biafran leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu continued
yesterday with Emeka Jnr who was read as the first son describing the document
as fake. He dismissed the Will presented by Barr Emeka Onyemelukwe, contesting
that he is a private counsel to Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu and not that of late
Emeka Ojukwu.
Speaking
at his country home in Nnewi, Anambra State, Ojukwu jnr argued that he has a
copy of the original Will written by his father and not what he called the
fraud presented as a Will. His words: "There have been rumours up to
yesterday that there is an attempt to read the will and that they intend to
make changes in the original will. Well, I have not seen the will that they
read.
"Now,
there are issues that come to mind, why were they no members of Ojukwu family
when the Will was read? They were not invited and they were not told. "She
was here last Sunday when we removed the mourning cloth and since she knows
that the Will would be read, she would have invited us or even put us on
notice. "
Now, the
lawyer that is supposedly doing all this things is not our father's lawyer, Mr
Onyemelukwe is not a lawyer that is known to the family as Ezeigbo's lawyer.
Remember when Ezeigbo was sick, the same Lawyer went to the press to claim that
Ezeigbo is getting better and that he is now on exercise and would soon come
home while he was lying.
It is
still the same lawyer that claimed to have custody of the will. And I told
everybody that it was not true and that since my father was flown to England,
he never lifted an arm or spoke a word until his death finally".
