Emeka Ojukwu Jnr, the man who was read as the first son of the late warlord, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, and who only got a property in Umudim Nnewi, Ojukwu's hometown in the will itself, has dismissed the authenticity of the will, calling it a fake.
The will was read by Barrister Emeka Onyemelukwe, who Emeka Ojukwu claims is not a counsel to the late Ikemba, but a counsel to Bianca. He clams that he has a copy of the original will written by his father and not what he called the fraud presented. He said, "There has been rumours up to yesterday that there is an attempt to read the will and that they intend to make changes in the original will. Well, I have not seen the will that they read.
"Now, there are issues that come to mind. Why were there no members of Ojukwu's family when the will was read? They were not invited and they were not told. She was here last Sunday when we removed the mourning cloth and since she knows that the will would be read, she would have invited us or even put us on notice.
"Now the lawyer that is supposedly doing all these things is not our father's lawyer, Mr. Onyemelukwe is not a lawyer that is known to the family as Ezeigbo's lawyer. Remember when Ezeigbo was sick, the same lawyer went to the press to claim that Ezeigbo is getting better and that he is now on exercise and would soon come home while he was lying.
"It is still the same lawyer that claims to have custody of the will. And I told everybody that it was not true and that since my father was flown to England, he never lifted an arm or spoke until his death finally."

We haven't heard the last of this issue, I'm sure.
