Ex-husband of the former Aviation Minister now Senator, Stella Oduah, Lt. Col. Satchie Emmanuel Etoromi (Rtd.), has demanded the body of his late son from the Anambra state senator.
The bereaved father of the 28-year-old Maxwell Chinedu Etoromi who died last Friday further accused the Senator of not informing him of his son’s death.
Lt. Col. Satchie Emmanuel Etoromi (Rtd.) while speaking to journalists in Warri after sending a delegation to HRM, Igwe D. O. Oduah, the Igwe of Akili Ozizor, Ogbaru in Anambra State, expressed deep sadness that his son died in Stella Oduah’s custody.
Etoromi in his letter addressed to the royal father titled: “Appeal To Intercede to Ensure Senator Stella Adaeze Oduah Brings My Son, Maxwell Chinedu Obiechina Wereyesigha Toritseju Etoromi To Me In Warri For Burial” said: “His Royal Highness Igwe Oduah 1 betrothed Stella Oduah to me on 18th November 1984 in Akili Ozizor. We married on the 16th of December 1984 in His Highness`s Palace in Akili Ozizor. After the payment of dowry and exchange of gifts, we were taken to Nde-Mili where we performed the final rites.
“I am surprised to see in the internet stories that my son Maxwell Omabuwa Temisanre Obiechina Wereyesigha Toritseju Chinedu Etoromi who Stella delivered for us on 14th March 1988 at 05.00 hour in St Mary`s Hospital Ugboroke Warri is dead.”
He further noted in the letter: “Up till now, Stella has not told me my son died in her custody. There is rumour that my son will be buried in Akili Ozizor. That is not acceptable at all. My son must be brought to me in Warri for internment.”
