•Demands N140m from Ikemba’s widow over Lagos property
By FAITH OMORUYI
Ojukwu Transport Company has sued Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the Ikemba, Chukuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, before a Lagos High Court over a property. The firm, which is represented by one of its directors, Dr. Ike Ojukwu, filed the N140 million suit before Justice Adedayo Oyebanji. It is demanding payment of N40 million being the expected rentable value per year of the said premises from September 27, 2012 until the defendant gives up possession of the property.
It is also seeking N100 million in compensation for damages. In its statement of claim, the company alleged that its property at 29, Oyinkan Abayomi Drive (formerly Queens Drive) Ikoyi, Lagos is being illegally “detained” by Bianca.
The property is said to comprise of two-storey detached house. During proceedings yesterday, counsel to the claimant, Mr George Uweche (SAN), told the court that the defendant (Bianca) was served with court processes but had not filed a defence against the suit neither was she represented in court. The company, in its statement of claim, said that by a power of attorney dated May 4, 2012, it appointed one Massey Udegbe of Massey Udegbe & Co as its agent to manage the property in dispute.
It noted that the said property was earlier occupied by one of its directors, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, who had since relocated to Enugu State over 10 years ago. The plaintiff stated that the said property was left in a dilapidated and unsafe condition before it was handed over to Massey Udegbe & Co.
The claimant said that by a letter dated July 19, 2012 marked MUC/MAN.OTL/222, the managing agent informed Bianca of his appointment and requested her to hand over physical possession of the property, but she allegedly refused. The company argued that it published public notices in some newspapers to ensure that the general public is aware of its appointment of Massey Udegbe & Co as the managing agent.
The claimant said that its solicitor also filed a notice of owner’s intention to recover possession of the property yet, Bianca has allegedly refused to release the property, noting that the defendant’s continued illegal detention of the property is seriously affecting the operation of its business. In a sister suit marked LD/1681/2012, filed against occupiers of a property situated at 13 Ojora Road, Ikoyi (formerly Hawksworth Road), the claimant (Ojukwu Transport Limited), is also asking for another N40 million from some unknown persons being expected yearly rentable value of the said premises from September 27, 2012 until they give up possession of the property. The claimant, also asking for N100 million as damages. Hearing in both suits has been fixed for March 25, 2012 for hearing.
Notin is as gud as 2 ve a particular family.and also defined a gud home b4 tyme.if dis ojukwu had a wife and had also defined his home wel dis counter issues wl nt b.Gd help dem ooo
Ianca is a useless harlot, send her packing
Thank God Odumegwu Ojukwu has willed all his properties before his death. Any move by any members of the family or selfish individuals is mere waiste of time and money.
The property in contention does not belong to Odumegwu Ojukwu but to his father, so the property belongs to the OTC
Why can’t you people allow this poor widow to rest.
so Ojukwu was a detector among his family members? why would they hate him a such?
May God help bianca

they all know bianca is stronger than them. by the time she will take it up with them now, their grammar will change.
i hate men who oppress women and it brings out the tigress in me.
The property does not belong to Ikemba but Ojukwu Transport Limited.So dont bring out the tigress in you.
this pple should be ashamed of themselves, bianca this bianca that since ojukwu died, Y can’t they struggle as men to make their own money n leave d poor widow alone. They should remember dat God dose not hear d cry of a widow 2WISE ooo
For God to answer a widow,she shouldnt covet what belongs to others.
YOU are a bastard.
Bianca should not give them anything, even a plot of land in Ajegunle.
Dont comment on issues you dont know very well.
Ndi Igbo, is it in our culture to oppress widows? Where were all these people masqurading as Ojukwu Transport Company when the Ikemba sat under sun and rain to wrestle all these properties from Lagos govt.? They should allow the poor widow to rest.
As a man,if trully you are a man,can you allow your father’s property to be taken over by your brother’s wife?
You are nothing but a paid idiot. Screw you. Go mand make your own money. Chukwuemeka gave you a name you are now trying to spoil. Where were you and your cohorts all this time.? That your stupid and age worn practice of taking a man’s property from his widow and children is history. Thank God, Bianca the lawyer can fight and put y’all in jail where you belong. I do not know the Ojukwu’s, but as an igbo man, God will not pay all of you back for biting the finger that fed you and trained you. Go and make your own name and money and let Bianca and children be.
I hope somebody will tell these fools to shut de hell up . We’re not intrested in them again, if they like they can tear themselves t o million places who give a fuck. De man that owned all de properties never fought over it while he was alive. How come de beneficeries want to kill one another for things they never own. What a shame.

One does not give what he does not have. Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu can not will to Bianca Ojukwu transport company because it is not his sole property but jointly owned by the family. Both law and traditions accepts this.
Where were all these fouls that are making noises now when Odumegwu was alive? Remember Bianca did not come from a cheap family that yuou guys can trample upon. Go and build your own Ikoyi house and let the woman and children be. A woman is nothing before all igbo men. That is not the culture we welcome in this techo age. Bianca is entitled to her husbands properties, and will pass these same properties to her children. You guys can go to Okija and Ijebu, but you will not succeed. I don’t think Odumegwu was daft in usurping family properties to himself alone. You know the truth but want to hide under that age old custom of depriving a woman her husband’s properties. You guys are in for a good fight with Bianca. By the way, yuou will loose.
Emeka Odumegwu cannot will collective inheritance to Bianca. D property belongs to families of Ojukwu. D law is blind if such a thing happens.
SHAMELESS PEOPLE,CALL MORE MONEY YOU WILL END UP DUMPING THEY COMPANY MORE,WE’RE ARE YOU WHEN IKEMBA IS ALIVE ALL THIS YEARS NONSENSE
Wether the property belongs to them all collectively or otherwise, is not the issue as far as I’m concerned. The question for these so called men is, where were there when Ikemba was alive? and what efforts did they put up to claim their rights of inheritance then?
London Boy you are almost there, but almost doesn’t count.
she is still the most beautiful woman in africa
Well, i dnt tink dat some of dis pple dat commet b4 now read & undastand dis story very well. Bcs b4 puttin sum1 down 2 d wall, tink if u were d person wat will u do….?. How can Ikemba Chukwuemeka Ojokwu wills’ a property dat belong 2 d hole family 2 his wife. Is impossible 2 b accepted weda Bianca is widow OR not, d trut is dat it can neva happen in Igbo land as long as culture nd tradition is concern, bcs there som properties dat belong 2 hole family as inheritage, de same wit d first son, second son, Or last born son e.t.c. U can take d one belong 2 d family or first son nd wills’ it 2 d Wife.. Nd tell dem 2 kip quiet bcs it was will 2 Bianca. If u were of d family member can u bear it OR quiet!!!!
Bianca is not being fair to Ojukwu’ family. Ikemba I know couldn’t have willed family properties to his wife when other stake holders are still alive. This is height of greediness, and it’s only a matter of time for the whole truth to be exposed. Bianca is too greedy.
Calling Bianca a poor widow is my anger in this case,It’s a wrong use of language….Please ladies and gentlemen,Bianca is not a poor widow and can never be…Nevertheless every physical manifestation has a spiritual connotation, the spirit behind those money and properties are on cause now….Lets see…
All of u are comentin on issue u don’t know, as nnewi man, am in a better possition to know, otc & co belong to ojukwu father who is also a polygamous, and ojukwu is not the first born or from the first wife, but most prosperious son, the family are managing the company in harmony until civil war, after the war the goverment confiscated all their company, so when ojukwu return from exile he started struglin to recover the company, he met his brothers to discuss it with them, they say bcs of him it was confiscated so let him retrieve it, so they started havin problem, igwe rule that ojukwu go for it bcs his the only one that has the connection, at long last ojukwu recover it, and since then ojukwu told his brothers that he have the lion share due to he use resourcess in recoverin them, so there is dispute, so when ojukwu wrote his will he did’nt include otc , so the property binca is holdin is the one ojukwu claim by himself as the lion share, so that is why his brothers refuse, in ojukwu will he indcated that all his share in otc company will go to bianca and his children, so when they share it properly bianca will take his lot.
Lets be serious here, Ike Ojukwu sued Bianca while hiding under OTL. Ike you are a bastard and should concentrate more on your practice. Ojukwu simply willed theproperties belonging to him to his most immediate family and Ike wanted to wrestle that from Bianca. Sorry. you will never succeed.
