The family of a popular Owerri business man, Chief Chukwudi Ahamba Ofoha a. k. a Ibari Ogwa, has put up a strong formal protest over the unwarranted, reckless and defamatory utterances and video shows made by Barrister Paschal Onwukaike over her deceased member, Ibari Ogwa.
The family, sought and procured the services of a foremost lawyer, Teddy Okwara, and engaged him in pushing a defamatory action against Barr Onwukaike. Teddy O Akwari, barrister and a lawyer to the deceased, has earlier sought the intervention of the Inspector General of Police and the Zonal Police Headquarters, Umuahia on the matter to prevent illegal torture and detention on flimsy reasons, her clients family members by the men of Nigerian Police who, according to Barrister Teddy Akwari have been compromised by Barr Onwukaike. Barrister Akwari fears that the police at Owerri has been compromised and hence opted for a transfer of the matter to Zone 9 Umuahia for unbiased investigation
The family sees Barr Onwukaike as an intruder, an enemy of progress and someone who wants to reap where he didn’t sow. She accused him of sowing seed of discord in the family with intention to reap much benefits.
Many wonder how Barr Paschal Onwukaike suddenly developed interest in the family affairs of a man he hated with passion, and who, till he died, never held him at heart. Both were enemies . Definitely any action taken by Barr Onwukaike would be seen as coming from hate.
Barr Onwukaike , according to the petition written by the deceased lawyer, has thrown in huge amount of resources in securing the favour of the Nigerian Police with a view to intimidating the family members , destabilizing the family and throwing the beautiful memory of the deceased to the mud. The family insists that everything is going according to the wish of her dead, and the family is united in her grief, and determined to ensure that the interests of Late Chukwudi Ahamba Ofoha ( ibari ogwa ) are protected.
It should be noted that few days ago, some social media influencers / handlers harped on the offensive video clips and statements Barrister Onwukaike made in the Internet concerning Ibari Ogwa. Condemnations have trailed the avoidable vituperation, with many demanding that they should be pulled down. Those who have some information about the deceased and those who are aware of the enmity between the deceased and the author of the video/ statements are quick to dismiss them as efforts of an opportunity seeker.
The coming days and weeks would witness strong legal moves by the family lawyer, in order to protect the family against invasion of the intruders.
Nze Dr Modesty Vitus Ezenwa, Akwaa akwuru Umuobom is one of the fans of Ibari Ogwa.
Poor reporting. I can’t make sense from the story.
