Journey to England and Education In 1880, at age 13, Jaja sent Waribo to England for formal schooling, entrusting him to palm oil trader Walter Johnstone. He enrolled at Manor House School in Frodsham, Cheshire—a boarding school run by Rev. Robert Borwick and his family (now a Chinese restaurant). Waribo adapted quickly, described as an "apt pupil" with "rare talent" who became popular among peers and locals.

He integrated into village life, playing cricket and attending community events, symbolizing Jaja's diplomatic outreach amid rising British pressures on Opobo's trade monopoly.Death and Legacy Waribo's promising stay ended abruptly. On April 14, 1882, after a cricket game, he fell ill with "inflammation of the lungs" (likely pneumonia).

He died on April 21, 1882, at age 13 or 14. His funeral drew widespread respect: Frodsham shops closed, locals laid flowers, and he was buried in St Laurence's Churchyard. The gravestone reads "Warabo," with white arrows still guiding visitors today.

Waribo's death was a personal tragedy for KingJaja, who learned of it during negotiations with British officials. It underscored the vulnerabilities of African elites navigating colonial education. In 2014–2015, descendant King Jaja visited the grave while researching a book on Opobo's traditions

"OPEN LETTER TO AGF AND DPPF: TO AVOID THE APPEARANCE OF SELECTIVE JUSTICE, DR. MONDAY O. UBANI, SAN OUGHT TO BE CHARGED ALONGSIDE SENATOR ONYEKACHI NWAEBONYI, BECAUSE HE ALSO PUBLISHED WORDS AGAINST SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN"

By


Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja.

Hon. Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Sir,

And

Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Sir,

I write as a public interest lawyer that was called to the Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in the year 2004.

Between the years 2019 and 2020, I served as the Chairman of the Governing Board of a federal government agency under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Justice.

In the year 2018, I also served as a representative of the Federal Government of Nigeria to negotiate for repatriation of the $301m Abacha loot with the Attorney-General of the Island of Jersey, United Kingdom. I undertook this assignment under the now defunct Special Presidential Panel for Recovery of Public Properties.

I also served Nigeria as a legislative drafting lawyer at the National Assembly's Institute for Legislative Studies for eleven years before my relocation to the Kingdom of Lesotho. I am there as a consultant for training their lawyers in Legislative Drafting.

I write in my capacity as a Minister of Temple of justice to appeal for the joinder of Dr. Monday O. Ubani SAN to the recent charges preferred against Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi.

Hon. AGF, Sir, please respectfully recall that you recently promised to investigate the unprofessional conduct of senior lawyers such as Prof. Mike Ozekhome SAN.

We plead that you extend same to Dr. Monday O. Ubani so as to send a strong message to lawyers.

Additionally, another reason to add Dr. Monday O Ubani as a co-accused with Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi (they both share the same name, which is ONYEKACHI) is because Dr. Monday O. Ubani, SAN is both a necessary party and accomplice whose publications also affected the public reputation of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a petition dated 15th May 2025, Hon. Dr. Ehiogie West-Idahosa provided details of Dr. Monday O. Ubani's publications, they are published online at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/05/investigate-akpabio-sandra-duru-natasha-petitions-igp/

Some excerpts are as follows:

"Shortly after the broadcast, Mr Monday Ubani, SAN, a Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Akpabio and also his counsel on record before the Sexual Harassment petition hearing before the Senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions. Mr Ubani, SAN a known ally and associate of Senator Godswill Akpabio, publicly eulogised ‘Prof. Mgbeke’, praising her courage and purported factual expositions. This endorsement came at a time when multiple stakeholders were condemning the broadcast as false, defamatory, and dangerous. Mr. Ubani’s eulogy, when viewed alongside the call log linking ‘Prof. Mgbeke’ to Senator Akpabio, suggests insider awareness and tacit approval from Akpabio’s inner circle. It further entrenches the case that the defamatory broadcast was not an isolated act by a rogue individual, but a concerted operation backed by political actors loyal to Senator Akpabio."

Yours faithfully,
Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja,
17th October 2025.

Lawyers, under the aegis of Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners, ALDRAP, have demanded the nullification of Omoregie’s appointment, and a fresh selection process, over alleged infractions.


ALDRAP has filed a pre-action notice, dated May 20, 2026, to signal its intention to approach an Abuja Federal High Court to seek an order of mandamus to compel the education minister to conduct a fresh selection process for the Edo university’s VC.
