Bereaved Senator Stella Oduah, who lost her son at the weekend, has more trouble on her plate.
Lt. Colonel Satchie Etoromi, her former husband and father
of her son, Maxwell Etoromi has requested for the corpse for burial in
Warri, Delta.
Etoromi, who hails from Delta, told newsmen on Wednesday in Warri that he wanted his son to be buried in Warri.
Maxwell died on Aug. 26, 2016 after a brief illness at the age of 28.
“I have sent a delegation to his royal majesty, the Igwe of
Akili Ozizor, Ogbaru, in Anambra to express my sadness over the death
of my son and how I was treated by Stella.
“I read about the death of my son in the newspaper, I was
not informed by Stella that my son that was delivered on 14th March,
1988, in St. Mary`s Hospital, Ugboroke, Warri, is dead.
“So, I have sent a letter calling Stella, my ex-wife, to bring my son, who was under her custody, to me for burial in Warri.
“His Royal Highness Igwe Oduah I, betrothed Stella Oduah to me on 18th November, 1984, in Akili Ozizor.
“We married on the 16th of December, 1984, in His Highness
Palace in Akili Ozizor, after the payment of dowry and exchange of
gifts.
“We were taken to Nde-Mili where we performed the final rites.
“Till now, Stella has not told me my son in her custody is dead.
“There is rumour that my son will be buried in Akili Ozizor and that is unacceptable.
“My son must be brought to me in Warri for interment,” he said.
Stella Oduah, former aviation minister, represents Anambra North in the senate.
