Wife, Brothers Of Late Owner Of Collapsed Ikoyi Building, Fight Over Bank Details, Exotic Cars, Other Assets, Engage Lawyer

The relations of Femi Osibona, owner of the 21-storey building that collapsed in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State, are currently in a messy fight over the personal property of the deceased, SaharaReporters has learnt. 

Sources close to the family told SaharaReporters that the wife, who had just flown in from the United States, tried gaining access to her husband's apartment along Mosley Road, Ikoyi but she was denied access by some of Osibona’s brothers.

SaharaReporters learnt that Mrs Osibona who had four children for the late Femi is presently in a fight-to-finish with the brothers who are laying claim to the deceased’s array of exotic cars, bank account details and other assets.

The family allegedly denied the wife access to the deceased’s apartment because there were bundles of money, keys to expensive vehicles and others in the house.

SaharaReporters was told that the two family factions came with Mobile Police Officers (MOPOL) after which they were all locked out by residents of the building who are neighbours of the deceased. 

One of the sources said, “The brothers and wife of Femi Osibona are fighting over access to bank details of the deceased and keys to expensive vehicles. This is despite the fact that the man has a wife and four kids. The body is yet to be buried; they are already fighting over his property. His wife was at the site yesterday, shouting at his brothers. I think there are loads of cash in the house. 

“Femi's brothers have stopped his wife and daughter from getting into his apartment. It is such a mess that money has become the root of all this evil. The brother asked the wife to go and stay at the hotel and she claimed she has no money to go there.”  

Another source said, “The woman came to the house with MOPOL; the family also engaged the services of MOPOL. On each side, there were about twenty people shouting on one another. When it was already midnight, we chased every one of them out of the house. They were outside till midnight shouting, swearing, boasting and threatening. Instead of mourning, these people were fighting over assets. They have also engaged popular lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba, on the matter."

SaharaReporters had during the week reported that the Chief Executive Officer of Fourscore Homes Limited, Femi Osibona, was confirmed dead and recovered from the rubble of the collapsed structure after about four days.

The body of Osibona was discovered among others during the rescue operation on Thursday.

There had been concerns over the whereabouts of Osibona, Wale Bob-Oseni, his friend, and others trapped in the building.

Bob-Oseni, who was to catch a flight to the US, briefly made a detour to see the project at the invitation of the developer but did not walk out alive.

On Monday, the building located on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos collapsed with a yet-to-be-ascertained number of persons still trapped beneath the rubble. The death toll currently stands at over 40 persons.

Emergency workers had evacuated more than nine persons alive from the debris of the fallen building.

According to Highbrow Living Magazine, the collapsed property, comprising four-bedroom maisonettes, flats, duplex and penthouses, was 65 per cent sold out.

The price range for the apartment is also said to be between $1.2 million and $5 million.

The structure was said to be 80 per cent completed and was billed to be concluded in 2022.

Meaning they have been praying for the man's death so that they'll fight over his properties

As if they've been waiting for the news of his death in the collapsed building so they could rush his properties

Hmmm
Wife wants his property
Btothers wants his property
People always make sure your stuffs are settled at all times.
Nobody lives forever

Or rather lazy wife fighting over property she does not own, so that she can use them to start flexing with his lovers!

Someone like me ehn, my spirit will be happier knowing that property and wealth are with my blood brothers than with some useless wife. Provided my brothers take care of my children's needs(that's if they're still small), I'll like it if they fight and claim my property.

Better still, I'll write my will, settle my children directly and also settle my brothers. Wife is not getting anything from me tbh, she should work for her own property!

Too bad

See ehn, if you make money for this life, na for here you suppose enjoy am,if not...

Yet your wife ruined her body to give you children and took care of the kids and house for you to go prosper. The way you Nigerian men think ehhh. Next time tell you brothers to give you children. Leave the women alone.

Game start

Your judgment is quite unfair. Some wives give adequate support and are pillars to their husband. What's the essence of marrying if you know your wife is not part of you when you're no more. Do you think your brothers will be able to take adequate care of your children when you're gone? A good wife will assume responsibilities when a man is gone and will take good care of the children left behind. That's the more reason husband and wife must build their home and empower each other such that if the unforseen occurs, much gap will not be really felt.

If you are rich make sure you enjoy your life because if you don't na another person go use your money catch cruise
