Emeka Ojukwu, first son of the late Biafra warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has revealed who killed his father.
In
an interview with The Telegraph, Emeka alleged that Bianca Ojukwu, wife
of the late warlord, locked him up and denied his family members access
to him when he had stroke.
“Bianca has been saying and I do not
want to associate myself with her. This is a woman who wants to create
an impression that she loved Ezeigbo (Odumegwu Ojukwu), but while
Ezeigbo was sick, she chose not to take care of him and rather pleased
herself.
“When Ezeigbo had a stroke, he was being ‘treated’ at
home. He was neither given a CAT scan, MRI nor subjected to any of the
standard procedures applicable to a stroke victim. She insisted on
having him treated in his bedroom by her doctor, against the wishes of
the family, for two weeks! At some point, family members were stopped at
the gate from inquiring about Ezeigbo’s condition.
“On
several occasions, I had to force myself in to see him. So all this
grandstanding that Bianca is putting up is just to create a false
impression about her relationship with my father and unsuspecting
members of the public are buying into it.”
“All the evidences
are available and well documented. First of all, the air ambulance
provided only had room for one family member and it was decided that she
should go with him in the ambulance. You are right. Certain changes
were made in terms of treatment centres. Lynden Hill Clinic was the
third place he was moved to.
“We were dismayed by the decision,
because you have to understand that throughout his treatment, he
required 24-hour nursing care, and that particular centre was
illequipped to handle a patient in his condition, even with 24 -hour
nursing.
“That was why he was transferred, yet again, to the
Royal Berkshire when his health, predictably, deteriorated. Several
members of my father’s immediate and extended family, including myself,
made a concerted effort to have him moved to a neurological
rehabilitation centre, where he would receive the sort of treatment he
needed.
“But again, Bianca blocked our efforts, and on the 25th
of November 2011, a date I will never forget, without reference to the
family, she had him discharged from the Royal Berkshire and transferred
to yet another ill-equipped nursing home, this time in London, where he
died a few hours later.”
