• Death, sickness and the EFCC ravage the household of Nigeria’s filthy rich
Three tragedies in quick succession are too close to call for a family attuned to bliss and comedy. Ask the Ibru family. That the scion of the Ibru dynasty, Oloorogun Ibru died recently is no longer news. That his first son, Oscar Ibru too is not feeling too well is a story for another day. Some days ago, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), declared Goodie Ibru wanted over capital fraud. But contrary to widespread rumour, Ibru wasn’t on the run.
Unfortunately, he has been sick for over three months now and currently undergoing surgery in the United Kingdom (UK). According to a statement, “The truth of the matter is that the EFCC, as at July 19, 2016, invited Ibru for an interview. On July 25, Ibru replied through the law firm of Babalakin & Co that he would not be able to honour the invitation until his planned return in the first week of November 2016 as he was in the United Kingdom undergoing medical treatment.
