Family members are currently engaging one another over where to bury socialite and friend of many, Henry Abebe.
Also amongst issues ruffling feathers is what role his estranged wife would plan in proceedings.
Here are details of this ongoing episode.
'Following
the shocking death of Henry Abebe, Popular Socialite and brother of
late former First Lady, Stella Obasanjo, his immediate family are at war
over the nature and venue of the burial.
An
insider revealed that in the past few weeks there have been serious
quarrel in-house. While his only surviving brother, Dr. John Abebe and
their dad wants him buried in Lagos, their mum, Madam Theresa and the
only surviving sister, Mrs. Rita Harold-Shodipo wants him buried in
their homestead in Iruekpen, Edo State
We
have it on good authority that a devastated Dr. John who is currently in
the United Kingdom has been working the phones to resolve the matter.
Henry’s death hit the family hard especially because he is the fifth
member of the Abebe clan to has passed on while their parents are still
alive.
Their
father, Dr. Christopher Abebe, who was the first indigenous Managing
Director of UAC is 95 and their mother, Madam Theresa who is in her 80s
have been in deep mourning since this incident happened.
'Meanwhile,
we can exclusively reveal that Henry Abebe’s final hours actually began
in Lagos. He had come to Lagos to pick up his French visa in
preparation for the birthday of his elder brother, Dr. John when trouble
began.
We
were told that he was at the VFS Global office (where such visas are
processed) in Lekki, Lagos when he complained of severe pain at the back
of his head. The pain was so bad that he rang his brother and he
recommended that he saw a doctor that evening.
Henry
reportedly saw the doctor and was given some medication before he
eventually flew to Abuja. It was in Abuja that Henry who has had his
blood flushed three times outside our shoures and was reportedly
managing a liver-related disease took a turn for the worse. He was
rushed to a hospital and that was where despite all attempts, he lost
the battle of life!
Meanwhile, it is not certain if his wife,
Beatrice will be present when the burial plans are finalised, it is
alleged that the lady who is the mother of his three children, Manny,
Anthony and Nicole was not in very good terms with her husband before
this tragedy struck.'
