Ojukwu's Firm Sues Bianca For N140m by lekanolas: 1:04pm On Feb 12, 2013
Ojukwu Transport Limited has filed a N140 million suit before a Lagos High Court against Mrs. Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, the widow of the late Chief Emeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu over a two-storey detached house located at No 29, Queens Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos.

In the suit LD/1680/2012 filed before Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, Ojukwu Transport Limited is demanding payment of N40 million being expected rentable value per annum of the said premises from September 27 until the defendant (Bianca) gives up possession of the property. Oyebanji adjourned the suit till March 25 for hearing.

The claimant, represented by one of its directors, Dr. Ike Ojukwu, is also asking for N100 million as damages from the defendant. At the resumed hearing of the suit yesterday, counsel to the claimant (Ojukwu Transport Limited), Chief George Uwechue (SAN), informed the court that Bianca was served with court processes.

However, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu has not filed a defence against the suit, neither was she represented in court.

In its statement of claim, the litigant said that by a letter of attorney dated May 4, 2012, it appointed Mr. Massey Udagbe of Massey Udegbe & Co as its agent to manage the property in dispute.

The claimant added that the said property was earlier occupied by one of its directors, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, who relocated to Enugu State over 10 years ago.

It added that the said property was left in a dilapidated and unsafe condition before it was handed over to Massey Udegbe & Co, the managing agent of the claimant.

The plaintiff added that by a letter dated July 19, 2012 with reference number MUC/MAN. OTL/222, the managing agent informed Bianca of his appointment and requested her to hand over physical possession of the property but she allegedly refused.

The house belonged to Sir Louis Philipe Odumegwu Ojukwu (Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu's father). Ojukwu Transport Limited was also founded by Sir Louis. He was the richest man in Nigeria at that time.

Ojukwu Transport Limited is claiming that the house never belonged to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, but that he held it in trust for the company (he was a director in the company), while others are claiming that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu inherited the house (known as Villaska Lodge) from his father.

naptu2: Sir Louis Phillipe Odumegwu Ojukwu, KBE, (1909-1966)

Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was an extremely successful Nigerian businessman and politician from the Ojukwu family of Nwakanwa Quarters Obiuno Umudim Nnewi south east of Onitsha in modern Anambra State. One of the most illustrious citizens of Nigeria, he had remarkable success as a businessman and also rendered distinguished public service in several fields. He was also associated with several philanthropic and cultural organisations to which he made generous material and tacit contributions.

He was born in 1909 in Nnewi and attended a primary school in Asaba and the Hope Waddell Institute. After formal schooling he joined the Produce Inspection Service as produce examiner in 1928 and later worked as a clerk with the large West African trading company of John Holt. It was here that the self made man who later became one of Nigeria’s foremost business tycoons and a multi-millionaire developed his business interest. He incorporated a textile company in Onitsha to supplement his income during this period, already exhibiting a little bit of his entrepreneurial spirit. While at John Holt, he noticed the severe strain a lack of adequate transportation had on Eastern textile traders He resigned from John Holt in 1934 to start a transport business with one second-hand truck that later grew into a vast transport enterprise. As a transporter he was a tireless worker and meticulous to detail; he was usually the first to inspect his transport vehicles for oil and leakages. His transport company (Ojukwu"s Transport Company) was the first major transport company to move the easterners to Lagos from the Asaba end of the Niger river after they might have crossed over from Onitsha on a boat.

He entered politics in 1951 as a member of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) which included him in the delegation to the London Constitutional Conference in 1951. Four years later Odumegwu Ojukwu was elected to the Federal House of Representatives in Lagos, but resigned in 1956 to become chairman of the Eastern Region Development Corporation.

Apart from his work ethic, his success was also oiled by the economic boom after World War II, working with the West African Railway Company and the newly inaugurated produce boards, he provided his fleet for commodity transportation and for other traders use. During the 1950s, he diversified his interest, bought some industries and invested heavily in the real estate sector.

His success, drive and ability led him to a host of other business appointments as chairman of the Eastern Nigerian Marketing Board, chairman of the Nigerian Shipping Line, chairman of the Nigerian Cement Company, first and founding President of The Nigerian Stock Exchange and director of a number of business concerns including Shell-BP. He was also a member of the board of Nigerian Coal Corporation. His last public engagement was as chairman of the Eastern Nigeria Marketing Board. He resigned from this position and also from office as chairman of the African Continental Bank, in May 1966 as a result of ill health.

His own company, founded on the Ojukwu Transport Company in 1934, had at the time of his death in 1966 spread its activities into construction and other areas, growing into a multi-million-naira group and employing thousands of workers.

In 1953, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal; he was knighted in 1960. In 1963 the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Law, becoming the first to be so honoured by that university. He died on September 13th 1966 at Nkalagu in his home state, at the age of 57.

Ojukwu’s death came a few months after the first Nigerian civilian government was ended by a military coup d’etat which saw his son, Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, ascend to office as Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria. Lieutenant-Colonel Ojukwu later declared the region, which he renamed Biafra, independent of the Federation of Nigeria, but secession was ended after a three-year bitter civil war in 1970.

Well Odumegu's brothers has been on this matter with thier brother for a long time. Bianca should have been properly advised that the property belonged to a company, which has a life of its own. It can only be killed, buried and its property inherited in a particular way.
Its better she meets a lawyer, who would advise her properly and not go after money that will come out of a protracted litigation.
Unless if something else shows that that company has divested its interest at Valaska Lodge. May the almighty touch the hearts of warring factions in this matter with the feeling of concilliation.
