Trouble As Son Insists Late 94-Year Old Father Must Not Be Buried

Occupants of Umuobioma in Ozara, Oru West Local Government Area of Imo State are yet to beat the offensive situations which happened in their up to this point peaceful villa as of late.

Following the passing of one of their distinguished children, Late Chief Mathew Ugwumba, a few visitors, made up of companions and relatives had collected from far and close, preliminary to giving Mathew Ugwumba, a befitting internment, most meriting his status in the network. Arranged dishes had been readied.

Wines-nearby and remote had been purchased and cooled, while distinctive execution gatherings had been locked in; everybody was without a doubt anticipating the brilliant end of Chief Ugwumba's voyage in life as he gets brought down to his grave, having endured as long as 94 years, in a nation where future still floats around 49.

Yet, this was not to be.

As the arrangements were in top rigging, the body was laid on a lovely bed under an enhanced shelter, trusting that the minister will lead fundamental customs for the entombment.

All of a sudden, a group of equipped police work force, who originated from the Mgbidi Police Division, crashed into the scene of the entombment, landed consistently from their van and attacked the town.

There was not kidding perplexity wherever as the scene resembled a Nollywood motion picture. It was later discovered that the men in uniform had come to uphold a court request, limiting the entombment from occurring. A portion of those drew in for cooking and couple of young people who had been immersed with the enjoyment of the internment parade ran away, gathering at a separation to watch the remainder of the film.

Before visitors and relatives could start to pose inquiries, Olivia Ugwumba, Late Ugwumba's second spouse and some different individuals from the Umuobioma village were whisked away. This in a split second tossed spanners in the wheel of advancement to the extent the internment rituals were concerned, uncovering the whole town to a to some degree humiliating circumstance. Late Ugwumba, who kicked the bucket on September 26, 2018 and had been set up for internment was returned back to Demion Hospital Mortuary, Orlu, Imo State.

Disclosures demonstrated that the bone of dispute was a court directive, acquired by Julius Ugwumba, one of the children of the expired Mathew Ugwumba's first spouse (offended party), supplicating that his dad ought not be covered!

As indicated by the suit with number: HOW/652/2019, the court request peruses: 'The Motion Exparte recorded on 15/4/2019 appealing to God for between time order controlling the Defendants from proceeding with any course of action for or concerning the internment of Pa Mathew Ugwumba, the supposed departed benefactor of the will dated thirteenth November 2017, pending the assurance of the interlocutory directive documented in this suit.

What's more, after the meeting, K.A Nwakuche with Nkem Oputa of advice for the Plaintiffs/Applicants, it is thusly, requested that the Defendants be and are therefore then controlled from proceeding with any plans for or concerning the internment of Late Pa Mathew Ugwumba of Ozara, Oru West LGA or complete the entombment on third May, 2019 or some other date pending the assurance recorded on fifteenth April, 2019."

For some individuals in the network, the occurrence came as an inconsiderate stun, on the grounds that such a large number of counsels and harmony conferences had been arranged preceding this period towards ensuring that the perished gets the rest he may have been longing for as a living man.

As indicated by the Chairman of the Community Development Association (CDA), Edmund Obodo Ebeloma, the waiting emergency which hastened all these dishonorable advancements were pointless as each exertion had been recently made to prevent any issues.

He says: "This entire revolting advancement is pointless. The man being referred to, Mathew Ugwumba, resembled a major uncle to us all. We had concurred, as individuals from a similar related that everybody ought to sheathe his sword and complete this internment, which all of us is in charge of and had been collected. Before this entire course of action began, one of Mathew's children, named Julius had concurred that everything was alright. Truth be told, they welcomed we all to the Parish Priest, who needed to know whether everything was okay before distributing a date to us for the entombment. We had needed the internment to happen on the 26th of April.

"This date anyway corresponded with the entombment of another conspicuous child of this town, which constrained us to move our own to May 3, on the grounds that the other gathering got the date before us. The arrangements were in top rigging, and no one was anticipating any interruptions. Yet, Philip, the second child and his siblings, completely mindful of the whole plans, went to get an order to stop the entire procedure. What's more, his reasons are fairly interesting. He said one of his sisters, named Adaobi was not appropriately counseled; which isn't correct on the grounds that a few people went to illuminate her significant other's kin regarding the internment plans. At the point when Philip saw that the reason was not working, he thought of another reason that our related shunned them.

"Once more, that is false, in light of the fact that he intentionally chose to leave Egbudike related and line up with Umuonuoha related. You can envision the humiliation this is causing after visitors have been welcomed and on arriving, the story progresses toward becoming something different. On the off chance that their concern is their dad's will, it is lost, on the grounds that the man being referred to did not possess any structure in decision areas like Abuja, Onitsha or Lagos, that could be causing this sort of commotion. Truth be told, I am disillusioned in this entire issue. Such a significant number of honest individuals have been kept over this waiting issue."

Clarifying further, Benedict Ugwumba, one of the relatives, affirmed that a land parcel was at the focal point of this entire issue, which as of late finished in the directive, controlling the multi year-elderly person from being covered by Igbo custom. As indicated by him, one of Pa Ugwumba's children, Anayo has been in confinement since 31st December, 2017 on the allegation of homicide.

"This issue should fill in as an exercise to other people. A real estate parcel which John needs is at the focal point of this entire issue. Late Mathew has made it realized that he didn't give the land to him. Actually, as I talk with you, two of the progression siblings had a battle about this in 2017, and the outcome has been a subject of discussion.

"One of them who passed on a while later from different issues was said to have been slaughtered by Anayo, regardless of the way that the examination did not uncover so. What's more, since 31st December, 2017, Anayo, who is being blamed for that passing, has been in detainment. His siblings are ruining for war to retaliate for that demise, including ceasing the entombment plans of his dad."

As the request limiting the internment subsists, the consultation which should come up on May fifteenth 2019, couldn't hold because of some specialized issues, and the suggestion is self-evident: Late Pa Mathew Ugwumba's soul will in any case be floating eagerly.
