Ojukwu’s Transport Company rejects Bianca as member of board of directors




The Will of late Biafran leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwuread was read  last Friday at the Enugu State High Court Registrar.

He had directed, in his Will, that Bianca, should replace him as a trustee of OTL.(Ojukwu Transport Company limited).



Ifeukwu said, “Bianca is neither a trustee member nor a Director of OTL and it is good to note that OTL is a different property from the things the late Ikemba Ojukwu had and the directorship cannot be transferred through a Will.”

HE ALSO SAID : OTL was owned by the late Sir Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the late Biafran warlord could not dictate who the trustees or directors of the company should be. Ojukwu, who was the Ikemba of Nnewi, had directed, in his Will, that Bianca, should replace him as a trustee of OTL

Meanwhile, Ojukwu Jnr. has taken over his father’s residence in Nnewi, “according to the Igbo tradition that the first son would inherit his father’s house and compound on the event of his death.”
Ojukwu (Jnr.) said even if the Will had not covered the Nnewi residence, it was traditionally statutory that the first son inherits his father’s house.

He also said other contents of the Will could be contested in court.
