The will of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, was
on Friday [Nov. 30] presented to the family with his widow, Bianca, getting the lion’s share.
The presentation by the Chief
Registrar of the Enugu High Court, Mr
Dennis Ekoh, was witnessed by Bianca,
Mr Val Nwosu, Ojukwu’s first cousin,
and Mr Mike Ejemba.
In the will, the late Ojukwu
identified one Tenny Haman as one of
his children.
Ojukwu listed the
children as Tenny Haman, Chukwuemeka
Jnr, Mmegha, Okigbo, Ebele, Chineme, Afam and Nwachukwu.
The Ikemba gave the Casabianca Lodge
at 7 Forest Crescent, GRA, Enugu, two properties at Jabi and Kuje in the FCT as
well as all his money and personal effects to his widow.
He also said that Bianca should
replace him as the trustee in the family company, Ojukwu Transport Ltd, while
also giving her two plots of land in his village at Nnewi.
The first son, Emeka Jnr., got the family house at Nnewi, while the newly
mentioned daughter, Tenny Haman, got
the Jubilee Hotel located in Zaria, Kaduna State.
Reacting to the will, Bianca, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador to
Spain, expressed satisfaction with its contents. “It was a fair will. This time around, he did not disappoint us’,’
she said. The ambassador, however, expressed shock at the disclosure of a new
daughter in the family, whom she said had never been mentioned by her husband.
None of Ojukwu’s children was present
at the presentation of the will.
A man who claims to be Ojukwu’s first
son has already filed a legal action in a Lagos court on the will.
Chief Debe Odumegwu Ojukwu who claimed to be the eldest child of the late
Ojukwu had slammed a N100 million suit on his father’s widow, Bianca and six
others, accusing them of preventing him from managing his estate.
