Part of the statement read: “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.”

The retired Army officer said he married Stella traditionally and

under Ibo marriage law, every child she has before his dowry is

returned belongs to him.

“It is Stella and not yourself who should tell me that my son,

Omabuwa, your senior brother is dead,” he added.

He continued: “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.”
