A serious war has just broken out between former Minister of Aviation and the Senator representing Anambra North in the Upper House, Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah and her ex-husband, Lt. Col. Satchie Emmanuel Etoromi (rtd).
Their bone of contention is the corpse their late son, Maxwell Chinedu Toritseju Erotomi. The 28 year old boy died days back in an Abuja hospital following the administration of a wrong drug.
While the father wants the corpse buried in his compound in Warri, Delta State, the mother is rooting for her own place in Akili Ozizor, Ogbaru, Anambra State.
To halt Stella from going ahead with her plans, the man, on Wednesday, September 31, 2016, sent a delegation to his father in law, Igwe D.O Oduah, warning them on the consequences of going against his people’s tradition and custom.
In a letter he handed his delegation, entitled APPEAL TO INTERCEDE TO ENSURE SENATOR STELLA ADAEZE ODUAH BRINGS MY SON, MAXWELL CHINEDU OBIECHINA WEREYESIGHA TORITSEJU ETOROMI TO ME IN WARRI FOR BURIAL, he stated that he was yet to be officially informed about his son’s demise and only became aware after seeing it in the newspapers!
Shedding more light on his relationship with Stella, he reminded his father in law that:
“His Royal Highness Igwe Oduah 1 betrothed Stella Oduah to me on 18th November 1984 in Akili Ozizor. We married on the 16th of December 1984 in His Highness`s 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.
“I am surprised to see in the internet stories that my son Maxwell Omabuwa Temisanre Obiechina Wereyesigha Toritseju Chinedu Etoromi who Stella delivered for us on 14th March 1988 at 05.00 hour in St Mary`s Hospital Ugboroke Warri is dead.
“Up till now Stella has not told me my son died in her custody. There is rumour that my son will be buried in Akili Ozizor. That is not acceptable at all. My son must be brought to me in Warri for internment”, he warned.
Finally, and again to show his seriousness as regards Stella’s alleged plan, YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine gathered that the sad man also copied the Archbishop of Onitsha, Dr. Valerian Okeke as well as the Parish Priest of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in the Senator cum owner of SPG’s homestead, Rev. Fr. Donald Uzoh.
