A fourty-year old widow, simply identified as Benedicta Vevakpor has raised the alarm over alleged assassination threat on her by her eldest brother, Chief Francis Vevakpor.
She alleged the brother was after her because she demanded for her share of their father’s property in Warri, Delta State.
The mother of three spoke to DAILY POST in Warri, Delta State.
Benedicta stated that nine of her siblings had already shared the properties before her return from Oyo State.
She also claimed that Chief Francis violently seized the birth certificates of her three children, Esther Blessing Agbi,13, Emmanuel Jesu Dickson 7 and Samuel Jesu Dickson 6 and took them to a motherless babies’ home at Sedco, in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
Benedicta who claimed to be a geology graduate of the University of Port-Harcourt alleged that her brother wanted the public to believe that she was mentally deranged, by taking her to the psychiatric hospital, Uselu in Benin-City.
“My brother put chains on my body at the front of the motherless babies home, without introducing me as the mother of the children, before taking me to psychiatric hospital in Uselu Benin-City only for them to discover that I am ok. They said that nothing was wrong with me.
“Nothing is wrong with me. I am ok”, she maintained, as she gave accurate date of her birth as 3rd Dec, 1976.
“My brother threatened to assassinate me if I don’t go back to Oyo, that I cannot stay anywhere in Warri and that I cannot go and see my children”, she added.
Benedicta also alleged that the operator of the motherless babies’ home, identified as Godfrey Igboini arrested her and demanded that she should come and pay the three term school fees paid on each of the three children, including the money spent on their feeding.
In a swift reaction, Chief Francis Vevakpor stated that, “She has a mental problem. I don’t I know who got her pregnant. I don’t know the father of those children.”
He admitted that he actually took her to the psychiatric hospital in Uselu, Benin-City for medical treatment.
Chief Vevakpor noted that Benedicta escaped from the hospital.
Chief Vevakpor stated that Benedicta was causing his family embarrassment as well as trying to dent his political career.
“Our father’s property had been shared long ago. She call herself a pope. She is the first woman to be a pope in this world. I have not seen that before”, he stated.
Chief Vavakpor explained that the children were well catered for as they attend good schools and eat good quality foods.
