LAGOS, Nigeria – Former Deputy Editor of Saturday Diet, Editor, The Nation Today Newspaper, Nath Omame Jnr is a man broken at heart not just because he has lost his beloved wife, Esther Omame, who died on Thursday, June 10, 2021. But the way Late Esther’s siblings are treating him after the demise of his lovely wife.
They have printed posters bearing Esther Omotejohkwo Oye, her maiden names. They even denied the dead, the name she answered, Esther Omame before she passed on. They have equally fixed Saturday July 31, 2021 for wake keep at her residence at Iyanaishashi, Grace Land Estate, Lagos; Friday, August 6, 2021 for Service of Song and August 7th for Lying in State at her home town, Otor- Iyede, Isoko North, Delta State.
They also wrote in the poster that their Esther Omotejohkwo Oye who bore Esther Omame until her death is survived by children, Brothers and Sister. The family illegally removed the husband’s name, Nath Omame Jnr and they seemed set to go ahead with the burial without the consent of her dully wedded husband.
Well, Nath Omame Jnr has sworn never to let that happen and that anybody that buries his beloved wife without his consent has a case to answer.
He tells his story: Sadly, I married Mrs Esther Nath Omame and paid dowry. I married her at the Registry at Ojo Local Government, and at Holy Family Catholic Church, 22, Road, Festac Town, Lagos. She died on Thursday, June 10.
Besides plotting to bury his wife without his consent, they want to sell the properties Nath Omame bought, bearing his name. “Late Esther’s elder sister, Okiemote (08034833340) and Onome, her cousin (08057765195) and Daniel Agbi Uzoge( (Obriko) (08134833340) want to sell my duplex and undeveloped land without my consent”, he alleged.
According to him, the poster Okiemote printed for my late wife’s Wake- Keep does not bear my name, neither does it bear my son’s name.
“She used her maiden name. About 10 years before I married my late wife, both of us were not talking and seeing each other. On the poster she printed, she claimed that my late wife is 58 years old. NO! All our marriage documents that she filled with her hands and signed, indicate she was 49 years old. She was born April 16, 1972. From the facts that I know, Okiemote does not know her sister. I and my late wife moved into my house in Ishashi, Tuesday, December 22, 2006.
“Okiemote never knew my house until after my wife’s unfortunate death. After my wife’s death, she came to the estate I live with the assistant of Obriko and his accomplice. I am Esther’s next of kin and she is my next of kin. I saw Okiemote for the first time, 10 February 2017. That is 15 years after we moved into my house. All documents of the house and undeveloped land bear my name.
“Obriko claims that some unknown persons including him have sold my land. Why? For what reason? My late wife’s elder sister is a hair dresser who lives at Ijegun, in Lagos State. I live at Ishashi. How come she didn’t know my house until my late wife died? For not acknowledging me and my son means there is an ulterior motive.
LET ME SAY WITHOUT FEAR! Anyone who buries my late wife without my consent and approval has a case to answer, Nath Omame Jnr has warned.
