An Awka High Court, presided over
by Justice Dennis Mmaduechesi has adjourned till May 7, 2018 for pre-trial
conference, the case involving the sharing of late Sir Louis Ojukwu’s property.
There has been crisis in the
family of Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, the millionaire father of the late Ikemba
Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu over the sharing of their late father’s
property.
Ikemefuna Ojukwu and his brother,
Mr. Chukwuma Ojukwu, two children of the late Ikemba Nnewi, had instituted the
suit in 2014, against their uncles, Dr Joseph Ojukwu, Dr Ike Ojukwu and Mr.
Lotanna Ojukwu and their mother, Ambassador. Bianca Ojukwu
The plaintiffs are asking the
court to declare that they be entitled to 25 per cent of the property in the
compound of their father at No. 73, Owerri road, Nnewi and a declaration that
they were entitled to 25 per cent shares of their father’s company, Ojukwu
Transport Company.
The first defendant, Dr. Joeseph
Ojukwu was represented by Mr. Okwuchukwu Ugolo, SAN, while Mr. Ebuka Ogwu and
Mr Christopher Ezeoka put up appearances for the second defendant (Mr Lotanna
Ojukwu) and the fifth defendant (Ojukwu Transport Company) respectively.
When the matter came up on
Monday, Mr. Chuka Osianatogu, counsel to the plaintiffs, pointed out what he
described as a mix up in the appearance before the court by one of the
counsels, arguing that the first defendant’s counsel failed to comply with
Order 48 of the High Court (Civil Procedure) rule.
The presiding Judge, Justice
Mmaduechesi adjourned the case to May 7, 2018 for pre-trial conference to
enable parties put their houses in order.
