Nwobodo's Son's Corpse missing. Burial postponed.

Nwobodo’s Son’s Corpse Missing
The burial of the late Dr Ifeanyichukwu
Nwobodo, the first son of former civilian
governor of old Anambra State, Chief
Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, scheduled
to hold yesterday in Enugu State was
aborted following the disappearance of
the deceased’s corpse, LEADERSHIP
Weekend gathered.
It was gathered that the two younger
brothers of the deceased (Chukwudi and
Uso) kept the corpse away from the
reach of anybody when it became
apparent that the former governor
wanted the remains of his late son to be
interred within the compound of a new
bungalow he built in honour of his first
son who died on November 14, 2014.
It was also gathered that Chukwudi and
Uso, Jim’s surviving two sons from
Mukosolu, his first wife, argued that if
their elder brother was buried outside
their father’s expansive house at
Amaechi Awkunanaw, they would be
denied the right to inherit the family
house.
Several dignitaries including the deputy
senate president, Ike Ekweremadu,
Senator Gil Nnaji, Dr Nnia Nwodo and
former governor of Anambra State, Mr
Peter Obi, who came to commiserate
with Chief Nwobodo left after failing to
broker peace between the chief mourner
and his two sons.
As at the time of filing in this report late
yesterday, the duo of Chukwudi and Uso
were yet to resolve the nagging issue of
the appropriate place to inter the
remains of the late Ifeanyichukwu
Nwobodo jnr.
It was gathered that before yesterday’s
incident, concerned elders of Amaechi
Awkunanaw community had pleaded
with the Nwobodos to resolve their
differences to no avail.
When Chief Nwobodo reportedly
concluded plans to bury his late son
outside the family compound, Chukwudi
and Uso drove to the mortuary and
removed the corpse of their late brother
to an unknown place.

Leadership.
