It is said that silence in the face of injustice is injustice itself. Following the constant cry for help from Mrs. Rose Odogo, the wife of the Late Mr. Samuel Chukwuemeka Odogo of Okpuno Nnewichi, Nnewi in Nnewi North LGA of Anambra State over unbearable intimidations, maltreatment, and attempts to forcefully take over her husband’s properties by Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi (Ngobros) And Mr. Chidi Jasper Odogo.
NnewiNorth Online swung into action to hear the true side of the story.
Mrs. Rose Odogo narrated her ordeal and threat to her life and the lives of her children following her refusal to sell the said portion of her late husband’s land to Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi who had on countless occasions approached her to buy the land at the sum of Twenty Million Naira, to which she vehemently refused the offer.
In a separate interview with Mrs. Rose and her children, it was gathered that Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi and Mr. Chidi Jasper Odogo (her late husband’s brother) have resulted in a series of intimidations and maltreatment, including using armed thugs and weapons for years to frustrate the Widow into giving up on her late husband’s land. She equally narrated how Mr. Chidi Odogo locked up her husband’s corpse and her children in a room for three days, which made the corpse swell so badly until the intervention of Obi Nnewichi, Chief George Onyekaba on whose orders the house was broken for the dead body to be buried.
The eldest son of Mrs. Rose Odogo, Arinze Odogo who also spoke in an interview with Nnewi North online narrated the series of attacks, blackmails, and torture he has been facing from Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi and Mr. Chidi Odogo over their refusal to sell his father’s land to them. He said, that he has been accused of being a cultist with a petition written against him but, he was set free following the intervention of his kindreds who came out openly to speak the truth.
Arinze accused Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi (Ngobros) of being a meddlesome interloper, trying to reap where he didn’t sow and using his Uncle to drag his father’s land, despite the will and sharing of the properties of the late Chief Odogo which was very clear before the law and everyone.
He told Nnewi North online that it was because of the series of threats and maltreatment from Humphrey Ngonadi and Chidi Jasper Odogo that made them take the decision to sell off the said land and seek refuge from another place to enable them to have their peace. He narrated how he heard about Mr. Emeka Chukwueloka who later bought the said land after much deliberation and paid in full as work has ever since commenced in the said portion until Chidi Jasper Odogo and Humphrey Ngonadi instituted a court action against the new legitimate owner of the land.
What we are saying is that the family of the late Mr. Samuel Chukwuemeka Odogo of Okpuno Nnewichi, Nnewi have unanimously sold our own portion to Mr. Emeka Chukwueloka of Abubor Nnewichi, Nnewi, hence ceased to be legitimate owners of the land after receiving full payment for the land, let Mr. Humphrey Ngonadi (Ngobros) And Chidi Jasper Odogo allow us some peace for us to move on with our lives.
We are calling on the Anambra State Government led by Mr. Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra South Senator, Sen. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, and other various authorities to please intervene in this matter because the threats to our lives increase by the day.
