Son Accuses Step-Mother Of Stopping Burial Of Multi-Billionaire, Lulu-Briggs

An intervention by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to resolve the quarrel that has stopped the burial of one of the deceased multi-billionaire, Chief Olu Lulu-Briggs has collapsed.

Lulu-Briggs, one of Nigeria’s richest men until he died in December 2018 has not been buried on account of a squabble between his children and his second wife, Mrs. Sienye Lulu-Briggs.

Speaking after a family meeting to resolve the issue ended in a deadlock on Sunday, first son of the late multi-billionaire, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs said:

“Our father, Paramount Ruler of Oruwari War Canoe House died on December 27, 2018. Until this day we have not been able to bury him and the simple reason is that we do not have his mortal remains.

“There have been several interventions and the latest was the one from no less a person than the Inspector-General of Police. That intervention was on February 4, 2020 to the effect that all legal hurdles should be withdrawn.

“That Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs is the Chief Mourner and Head of the Lulu-Briggs house and therefore the mortal remains should be released to him by custom so we can come together to give the late Paramount Head a befitting burial.

“No action was taken by her (Seinye) to withdraw any of those suits until February 11 when the Supreme Court of Ghana dismissed her application challenging judgement of a lower Court that the body of our father be released.

“When the petition was dismissed by the Supreme Court, we thought that would be final. We thought everybody will be happy that at last, we can bring the remains of our father and give him befitting burial.

“She went to the High Court in Ghana asking the funeral home not to release to release the body to us. It is obvious that somebody is being economical with the truth.

“Today, we don’t have the mortal remains of our father after the express decision of the Inspector-General of Police and after the express decision of the Supreme Court of Ghana.”
