The will of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu-Ojukwu, was on Friday 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 No. 7, Forest Crescent,
GRA, Enugu, two property 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.
He, however, added that if she re-married, the land should be
taken away from her.
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.
The Biafran warlord also shared other landed property in the
village among all his children.
Ojukwu listed the trustees and executors of the will to include
Bianca, Emeka Jnr and Mr James Chukwuneme.
Reacting to the will, Bianca, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador to
Spain, expressed satisfaction with its contents.
“It was a fair will. This time round, 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 the children was present at the presentation of the will
