Olorogun Felix Ibru’s Children Fight Dirty

Published

on

The late Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first democratically elected Governor of Delta State, had worked hard to give his family a lasting wealth and legacy.

But the wealth bequeathed to the children, www.crystal.com.ng gathered, is said to be tearing them apart.

How? The children of the deceased, Oyovwevotu Felix Ibru and Amrotorigbeya Elaine Ibru, are said to have instituted a court case against other siblings over the running of their father’s company,  Ibru Prefabs Limited, before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi Lagos.

The petitioners, it was gathered, are alleging that one of their siblings, Dr. Aidido Paul Ibru , is running the estate of their late father in a manner which is unfairly prejudicial and discriminatory to their interest.

According to a source, “Dr. Aidido Paul Ibru, on his own, assumed the administration, control and management of the Estate left by their late their deceased father without obtaining the consent or authority of the Court, and the other siblings.

“Consequently, on May 10, 2017, a matter with  Suit No. LD/25P/2017 between the petitioners,  Mrs. Onojoma Yvette Oniwinde, Dr. Aidido Paul Ibru, Ms. Sheri Sonia Ibru, Mr. Olotu Ibru and  the Probate Registrar of High Court of Lagos State, at the Lagos State High Court, claiming that the court  should order  that Dr. Aidido  as executor of the Estate of the late Olorugun Felix Ibru is obliged to file account supported by relevant receipts and vouchers showing his dealings with the Estate since the death of the late Ologun Ibru on the 12th day of March, 2016 up till this moment and such account to be lodged with the Probate Registrar of the court for scrutiny within three  months from the date of judgement.

  “ They are also seeking an order disgorging/restituting all profits or gains accrued over the assets of Estate of the late senator; an order of perpetual injunction restraining Dr. Aidido  either by himself, privies, agents or representatives howsoever described from interfering or intermeddling with any asset, including real properties  in the Estate of the late Olorugun Felix Ibru; an order of perpetual injunction restraining  him  whether acting by himself, agents or privies, whomsoever, howsoever, from taking possession or in any way disturbing the peaceful enjoyment by Mr. Matilda Ibru of the premises known as 35, Remi Fani-kayode Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos; an order that account be taken of all assets in the Estate of the deceased and an interest on the sum awarded  at 21% per annum until final liquidation of the judgement sum.”

 He also  alleged further that, following the death of  their  father, who was the only shareholder of the Company, Dr. Aidido, who has no shares and is not a director of the Company, has purported and continued to purport to exercise control over the affairs of the Company without regard to the  their interest, and those of the other heirs to the estate of the late politician.

 The source added that Dr. Aidido was also accused of operating the various accounts of the Company in spite of several oral and written warnings to him that he should stop doing so until Letters of Administration are obtained in respect of the estate.

It was further alleged that he has been applying the funds of the Company in respect of his personal needs.

However, another source disclosed that though Dr. Aidido had not filed any response to the suit filed before the Federal High Court, he stated , in a counter-affidavit to a suit before the Lagos High Court, that as the first son of his father, he would not destroy the laudable legacy built and left by his father.

The source said the friction started almost immediately their father passed on and they had to determine his final resting place. 

 ‘’ They decided not to attend the funeral and burial of their father on his property at Agharha -Otor. The action is seen as abominations and taboo and flagrant disobedience to the custom, tradition and culture of the Urhobo people, of which their father was a proud one.

“So they  cannot be beneficiaries of the estate of the late father  given their wilful refusal to bury him and pay him last respect.

 “They were not side-lined but rather have been informed that before any discussion about late Olorogun Felix Ibru estate can take place, the matter about reproaching their father  by refusing to bury him must be resolved.”

He said Aidido’s running the affairs of his late father’s company had involved other siblings, who either involved in the burial of their father or had since come around to accepting that their refusal to bury him was abominable /reproachable act against Olorogun Felix Ibru .

“He has been focused on ensuring that any debt owed by the estate is paid, that burial plans are executed proficiently, the mausoleum site developed, applying for letter of administration and estate road map actualised” he added.

”Adaobi Alagwu is parading fake DNA Certificate” ….Tunde Ayeni

Published

By

 

 The controversy surrounding the paternity of the daughter of Abuja based lady Adaobi Alagwu has once again popped up in the media with her release of a DNA certificate which businessman, Dr Tunde Ayeni emphatically describes as not only compromised but fake.

In a press release, which he personally signed, Dr Ayeni noted: “This lady is being clever by half. She is haunted by her reckless past and is truly desperate. It is this desperation that is pushing her on this journey to infamy and ultimate disgrace.”
“It has become necessary to once again address the persistent and shameful campaign of blackmail, deceit, and defamation orchestrated by Ms. Adaobi Alagwu. When I say the certificate is fake, it is a position informed by indisputable facts. First, the result was meant to be out in five days. Later, a letter, purportedly from the centre, came pushing the date the result will be ready by two extra days. When we cross checked from the centre, they denied knowledge of the said letter and Indian name that signed it. At that point, it became crystal clear to us that the process has been compromised and that the outcome cannot be genuine. We have since discovered other nefarious steps taken to come about the so-called DNA certificate.”

He said further: “Despite multiple public statements, legal affirmations, and sworn affidavits unequivocally denying any ties or paternity claims, Ms. Alagwu continues her relentless campaign of falsehoods. Multiple investigations revealed that Ms. Alagwu and her associates hacked into the email accounts of the accredited laboratory responsible for the actual DNA analysis. Their goal was to insert a falsified document to support her baseless claims. People are privy to these facts and in due course it’ll be presented to the appropriate authorities especially now that we are in court”.

The release noted:  “For instance, it was not a mere coincidence that it was at the critical point in time when we were expecting the results that Google found out that the email we used had been compromised. At that point, we lost confidence in the process and the centre. It was then we requested for another DNA at another center, which the lady rebuffed” he added.

“Let it be stated clearly that:
*       Dr. Tunde Ayeni has no marital connection to Ms. Adaobi Alagwu: This fact has been affirmed repeatedly in official legal documents, including a sworn affidavit.

* The child in question is not Dr Ayeni’s. Ms. Alagwu’s fabricated DNA result contradicts the legitimate, verified results that conclusively establish the absence of any biological relationship. At the appropriate time and place, this evidence will become public knowledge.
* This desperation will lead Adaobi nowhere. If she is confused about the true father of her daughter, she should invite her numerous dates for DNA tests.

* The ongoing blackmail and cyber-attacks boarders on criminal intents and legal actions are ongoing to seek full redress.
