My son, Omabuwa was Killed-- Chief Etoromi
The
husband of Stella Oduah, Lieutenant Colonel (Chief) Satchie Ayomike Etoromi
says he suspect foul play in the death of his son, Mr Maxwell Chinedu Toritseju
Etoromi. He said that controversies surrounding his death will be
investigated.
Another son of Chief Etoromi from Stella, Mr Tuoyo Etoromi Oduah, had released a damning statement to his father.
He had in the statement, denounced his father saying that he will rather be a bastard than be called his son.
Another son of Chief Etoromi from Stella, Mr Tuoyo Etoromi Oduah, had released a damning statement to his father.
He had in the statement, denounced his father saying that he will rather be a bastard than be called his son.
He had accused his father of being an attention seeker in the course of his brother’s death.
But the retired Army officer fired back,imploring his son to retrace his steps and not allow himself to be used by his mother.
Chief Etoromi in his statement to his son wrote thus;
"Eyituoyo my son, they have misled you.
When Omabuwa came home last year, Stella, your mother told me to call you to
come home.
She gave me your phone number. She said you were
in the United States of America and don't answer calls. All calls to that your
phone were not answered. I believe Omabuwa was killed, that is why Stella
refused to tell me."
"The stories about how Stella took you away
need not be told now. The grief that my son, Omabuwa who was contacted by
your junior sister, Valentina Omawumi Etoromi and who came home is dead is too
much a pain for me now. Stella should bring our kids home. I want to bury
Omabuwa who is now late, and you my lovely son, Eyituoyo should come
home. I married Stella traditionally and under Ibo marriage law, every child
she has before my dowry is returned belongs to me.
It is Stella and not yourself who
should tell me that my son, Omabuwa, your senior brother is dead",
he said.
Chief
Etoromi also wrote that;
"You said you offered flight tickets
and accommodation to attend the burial and funeral of my son. Burial where? Do
you have flight infrastructures at Akili Ozizor now? Is it Ibo culture
for a woman whose dowry was paid to take her children's corpse to her
home town? That is abomination. The controversies surrounding Omabuwa's death
will be investigated".
"My son, do not allow yourself to be
dragged into what you do not have knowledge. Could it be that Omabuwa was
killed because he came home? This is not the time to talk. May the Almighty God
grant us His Mercies, show us light that will make us know the truth.
Amen".
He pointed out that;"Eyituoyo, I am not Mr
Satchie Etoromi. I was commissioned into the Nigerian Army and attained the
rank of Lieutenant Colonel before Stella came into my life. I was also
conferred with a Chieftaincy title when she was with me. It is a pity that you
were not told my status in life. You will know I am not a nonentity as
you were made to believe"
He
added:
"My marriage with Stella was not short. She
moved out of our home 19 years ago and so her telling you she divorced me 30
years ago is another big lie. How old are you? So why did she tell you all
these lies? I am an incorruptible and disciplined officer and gentleman and you
shall be proud that my blood flows in your veins when the truth becomes knowledge.
I was a polygamous man before Stella married me. I married many
wives and it is a custom of our people.
His Royal Highness, Igwe Oduah 1 of blessed
memory had many wives too, so what did I do wrong? When Stella took you and
everything away, in humility I prayed for the Almighty God's mercy. Must she
not do the needful and bring you to me? The Almighty God shall judge. I am your
father. Bring Omabuwa home and come with him. I am not threatening you nor your
mother. .
May the Almighty God bless you my son. All
will be well.
