A federal high court in Lagos, on Friday, threw out a suit filed by Chief Debe Ojukwu over alleged breach of his fundamental human rights by his siblings.

The applicant, who averred that he is the eldest son of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, had filed the suit on October 5, 2012 to enforce his rights.

He sought an order to restrain his siblings from threatening his life and asked for N100 million as exemplary damages.

Joined in the suit as respondents are Professor Joseph Ojukwu, Emmanuel Ojukwu, Lotanna Ojukwu; Bianca Ojukwu, wife of Ojukwu; Patrick Ojukwu, Patricia Ojukwu and Margaret Ojukwu.

Others are the Inspector General of Police, Assistant Inspector General of Police and Deputy Commissioner of Police in Anambra State.

Delivering his judgment on Friday, Justice Okon Abang struck out the suit on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain it.

The judge held that the suit was liable to be struck out as it did not follow the procedure.

“The applicant should not have brought this suit under the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules, but as a proper action.

“In the circumstance, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the suit. The case is accordingly struck out for want of jurisdiction with no order as to cost, I so hold,” Abang said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Ojukwu had, in an affidavit, averred that since his birth as the first son of the late Ojukwu, he had been unfairly treated by his family.

According to him, the respondents had invited him to come and oversee Ojukwu Transport Company owned by their late father.

He said he managed the company effectively until the death of his father when things began to fall apart for him.

The applicant said he was suddenly informed by the respondents to stop managing the company.

Ojukwu said he refused to step down as manager of the company, but filed an action in court to challenge his siblings.

He claimed that since he instituted the suit, the respondents had been using the police to threaten him and persuading him to withdraw the suit.

Ojukwu added that as a result of the suit, he was also denied the right as the eldest son to perform the traditional dust-to-dust rite for his father.

Legal and political experts who have been following the case say that a lack of jurisdiction is legalese for throwing the case out for lack of merit. Justice Okon Abang is also said to be very upset that Debe and his wife Victoria Ndidi "thief thief" Ogbonna Ude "Ojukwu" tried to bribe him with 4 million Naira which he angrily turned down. SSS has tapes of phone conversations incriminating Debe and his wife Victoria and is currently investigating the attempt to bribe a Federal Judge which is a serious offense punishable by very very long prison sentences.

The Judge looked at all the evidence and realized that the root cause of the problem in Ojukwu Family is that Debe and his wife Victoria STOLE hundreds of millions of Naira that belongs to Ojukwu Transport Limited and the entire Ojukwu family. He must return the money, go to prison or be killed in accordance to IgboTraditional Law and the Laws of Moses.
