FOOTBALL FANATICS... Man stabbed to death in Nigeria over Chelsea/ Man City match

LAGOS, NIGERIA - Two suspects identified as Kayode Ogunwa and Oluwa Femi, are currently cooling their heels at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, following the stabbing to death of a hotel attendant, identified as Mr. Otumala Ukama Benson, a 32-year-old, a native of Benue State, over a misunderstanding during penultimate Sunday English Premiership League, EPL, clash between Chelsea and Manchester City football clubs.

The incident happened at one of the popular hotels (name withheld), along Isheri- LASU- Igando Road, near Diamond Estate. The two suspects were promptly arrested and detained in a cell at the Area ‘M’ Police Command, Idimu, and are now facing murder charge in connection with the incident.

According to a police source, the suspects reside at Diamond Estate, opposite the hotel and drove there to watch the match.


Match Victim

On the fateful day, the hotel, it was gathered, was filled to capacity and some customers who wanted to buy drinks could not get chairs to sit.

This prompted the late Ben to ask those watching the match without buying drinks to get up and allow those willing to buy drinks to be seated. The suspects who did not buy drinks refused to vacate their chairs and this resulted in an argument between them and the late Ben. The argument later degenerated into a brawl during which one of the suspects ran to the car and brought a knife with which he stabbed Ben in the neck.

Kindergarten Death.....Victim’s Parents Demand N2b From Bishop Oyedepo

The General Overseer of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has been asked to pay N2 billion within 14 days as general damages or face legal action, for the death of three-year-old Imienfan Omokaro who got drowned at Kingdom Heritage Model School operated by Winners Chapel in Benin.

A letter written by Omokaro’s Counsel, Prince Peter E. Uwadiae-Igbinigie and, dated November 28, 2012 and made available to journalists in Benin, explained that the amount was “for the callous and senseless killing of our client’s daughter, Miss Imienfan Omokaro.”

Mr Omokaro’s lawyers also want Kingdom Heritage Model School to publish its apology in three national newspapers, warning that if the demands were not met within 14 days, “we have the irrevocable instructions of our client to commence legal action against the school (Kingdom Heritage Model School) and Church (Winners Chapel) without any further correspondence from this Chambers.”

Imienfan Omokaro, a KG I pupil of Kingdom Heritage Model School, was said to have drowned in a drum of water in a toilet in the school on November 1, 2012.

Teachers of the school allegedly did not inform her mother when she came to pick her from school on that fateful day until late in the evening.

Reports say the school authorities and Winners Chapel had kept the girl for more than an hour, praying for her before finally taking her to Irowa Hospital in Benin, where she was confirmed dead.

The doctors disclosed the girl had died long before being brought to hospital.

Ojukwu's Will - Bianca Speaks Out!

Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria's Ambassador to Spain and widow of late Biafran leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, yesterday appealed to all those contesting the authenticity of the Will left by her deceased husband to sheathe their sword and allow his soul to rest in peace. Describing Ojukwu as a man of honour and dignity whose legacies should not be destroyed.

She told LEADERSHIP in an exclusive interview that the Will, which has become a subject of controversy since it was read at the Enugu High Court last Friday, was prepared in 2005, adding that all the executors mentioned in the Will were present at the time it was written.

Bianca, daughter of former governor of old Enugu State, late Chief Christian Onoh, added that all the property she inherited through the Will were those she and the late Ojukwu collectively acquired in the course of their marriage, explaining that she did not get any property outside the ones both of them built as husband and wife. Ojukwu died in a London hospital on November 26, 2011.

But Emeka Ojukwu Jnr, who was mentioned in the Will as the first son of the departed Igbo leader, reportedly described the document as 'fake'. He alleged that Barrister Emeka Onyemelukwe, who presented the Will, was a private counsel to Bianca and not that of the late Ikemba Nnewi.

The junior Emeka Ojukwu, who spoke at his country home Nnewi, Anambra state, reportedly argued that he had a copy of the original Will written by his father, "and not what he called the fraud presented as a Will".

But Ambassador Ojukwu, said that those dissatisfied with the Will know the best option to take, even as she advised that the legacies of the late Biafran leader should not be toyed with.

"For me the most important thing is that my late husband left a Will, and so all this argument is unnecessary. All those contesting the authenticity of the Will know the right thing to do.

"As former governor of the defunct Eastern Region, and later Head of state of defunct Biafra, Ojukwu did not appropriate any government property, and so he should be left with his integrity and dignity intact. Those contesting the Will may have their reasons for doing so, but they know the right thing to do", she emphasized.

Meanwhile, Sylvester Ojukwu, long touted as the first son of the late Ikemba Nnewi, but whose name is conspicuously missing in the Will, has also expressed doubt about the authenticity of the document, though he reportedly claimed to be worth more than the assets mentioned in the controversial Will.

The Will read last Friday before an Enugu High Court, gave Ambassador Bianca, substantial part of the property acquired by her late husband, including the famous Casabianca building on Forest Close, Enugu.
