Bianca, Ojukwu Family Battle over Property

There seems to be some kind of dispute between Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the late Ikemba of Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and the family of the late general over some property he left behind.
The ambassador, through her lawyer, has insisted that the estate management agent, allegedly appointed by her late husband, Mr. Emmanuel Omuojine of Omuojine & Associates, would remain in charge of the five properties in Lagos.

Recently, directors of Ojukwu Transport Limited (OTL), Professor Joseph Ojukwu (Chairman), Engr. Emmanuel Ojukwu, Mr. Lotanna P. Ojukwu, Dr. P. Ike Ojukwu, Arc Edward Ojukwu and Mr. Lotanna A. Ojukwu, had, in a public notice, disowned the agent, saying that at no time was he appointed by the company’s board of directors to manage any of their properties.
The properties in question are, 13 Hawksworth Road, Ikoyi (now 13 Ojora Road, Ikoyi) Lagos; 32A Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Lagos; 29 Queens Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos; 30 Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos and 4 Macpherson Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos.
In a reply to the OTL Directors on behalf of Mrs. Ojukwu, Emeka Onyemelukwe, her counsel, had said “Messrs Omuojine & Associates were appointed by late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, to manage those properties under his care… they have not been relieved of that responsibility by late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu until his demise.”
