cry for your assistance.I am the son of late chief Chuba Okadigbo a formal
senate president of the federal republic of Nigeria and also renowned
politicial and a devoted man,whom we lost as a result of political
struggle.Since the death of my father,we have been highly disturbed
mentally,psychologically and physically expecially my mother who is on her
sick bed now.In fact the death of my father have affected us greatly,the
worst of it all is that barely one week after his death, my father's family
members have been disturbing and compounding our present sober mood,
demanding that my mother should declare all her husband assets and surrender
all his bank accounts to them.
Being the youngest widow and from the northern part of the country,a musulim
by faith.She considered it right to secure her future and that of her
surviving children with the money which my father deposited in the security
company unknown to the family member's as it is done else where in the world
since she declared all my late Father's local accounts and assets to
them,but they still persist that she have not surrendered everything to them
yet.
