A Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere, on Tuesday, granted the prayer of the widow of the late Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu to re-open her evidence-in-chief, in the suit she filed against her late husband’s family over his property .

Bianca, an ex-beauty queen and former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, had on behalf of her two under-aged children, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu (claimants) dragged Ojukwu Transport Limited (OTL) and seven others before the court over an alleged move by the Ojukwu family to eject her sons from the company’s properties situated in Lagos. The company (OTL) and its property belong to late Odumegbwu Ojukwu.

Defendants in the suit are Prof Joseph Ojukwu, Engr. Emmanuel Ojukwu; Lotanna Putalora Ojukwu; Dr Patrick Ojukwu; Architect Edward Ojukwu; Lota Akajiora Ojukwu and Mrs Massey Udegbe (doing business under Massey Udegbe & Company).

Bianca had earlier testified before the court on the suit made a U-turn, filing two separate applications, seeking for leave of the court, to allow her amend her writs of summon, statement of claims and also to re-open her evidence-in-chief.

All the respondents in the suit did not oppose the applications.

At the resumed hearing of matter the trial judge, Justice Abdulfattah Lawal granted all the prayers of the applicant and ordered her to re-open her evidence-in-chief on June 3.

In earlier evidence, Bianca told the court that she is the only woman that was legally married to Ojukwu, as they had court, church and traditional marriage.
