Relatives Accuse Bianca Of Greed Over Ojukwu’s Property

Some members of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu's family have accused the wife of the deceased, Bianca, of greed by laying claim to some property which she felt belonged to her late husband.

In a 19-paragraph statement of defence filed before a Lagos High Court, Igbosere, the Ojukwu Transport Limited and seven family members said they would subject Bianca to the strictest proof in the suit which she filed on behalf of her two underage sons.

The two sons – Afamefuna and Nwachukwu – are the claimants on record in the suit.

Accusing Bianca of being greedy, they stated that for over 12 years prior to the death of Odimegwu-Ojukwu, he had  moved to Enugu State and had since then not lived in any of the company's property as alleged by the claimants.

Their statement of defence read, "The property belongs to the first defendant (the company). The fact is that the claimants' mother, being greedy, felt she could hold onto the first defendant's properties.

"For over 12 years prior to his death, the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu moved to Enugu and since then had not lived at the first defendant's property as alleged by the claimants."
