A seventy year old man, Mr. Joshephat Onyejiaka, has accused his son-in-law’s brother of intimidating his family with the police over his daughter’s refusal to hand over the properties of her husband to him.
The properties in contention are a church building with residential attachment and a satchet water factory both in custody of his daugther, Mrs. Ugonma Clinton Eze whose husband is said to e based in Turkey.
Whether Ugonma and her Turkey-based husband is encountering any trouble cannot be confirmed at presstime.
However, in an interview with journalists Sunday evening, Josehephat Onyejiaka lamented that the said son-in-law’s brother has been harrassing his daughter, threatening that both her and her two-year old son would be thrown out of their residential property if she fails to hand over the keys of her husband’s properties to him.
Onyejiaka stated that after the man made the last request on Sunday morning and she refused, he mobilised officers from the Rumuokoro Police Station to arrest his daughter (Ugonma) and her younger sister, Amarachi Onyekiaka, who resides with her on trumped-up charges.
Onyejiaka claimed that his daughter has been speaking with her husband who is in Turkey and there never was a time did the husband instruct her to hand over the key of the church and the sachet water factory to his younger brother.
He expressed shock that the Rumuokoro Police Division refused to grant his daughter bail, an action which shows tendencies of intimidation.
He alleged that it was a deliberate ploy by his daughter’s brother-in-law to use police intimidation to force her to hand over her husband’s properties to him.
He appealed to the human rights community in the state to come to the aide of his family.
As at press time, Mrs. Ugonma Clinton Eze and her younger sister Amarachi Onyejiaka were still being detained at the Rumuokoro Police Division.
