Ojukwu’s Will Read Aloud

The will of Biafan Leader, Dim Emeka Odumegwu–Ojukwu, was read in the preceding weeks. The will and testament was suppose to bring the family together; instead, it tore them asunder. Some family members were so upset that they disowned the lawyer that read the will. In the will, Ojukwu reportedly gave most of his property to his widow, Bianca, who is also the Nigerian Ambassador to Spain. She was also authorized to take Ojukwu’s position as the trustee of the family business and was named as one of the executors of his will, Ojukwu Transport Ltd. She felt that the will was fair because the property that she inherited was l owned collectively with Ojukwu. 

However, the same could not be said for his children. Emeka Jr. thinks that not only was the will unfair, he believes that the will is fake. He further claims that he is in possession of Ojukwu’s true will. The will did not even mention his first son, Sylvester. Sylvester also believes that the will is a fake and claimed that the will was unreliable. In fact, Emeka Jr. believes that the reason that Sylvester was left out of the will proves that the will that was read was not his father’s will. Now, it appears that both are ready to enter into a legal battle with the leader’s widow. The will also revealed something that no one in the family was ready to hear. It appears from the will that Ojukwu has a son named Tenny Haman.
