Nkem Owoh, aka Osuofia, as a popular Nollywood actor, he has acted in
many home video movies in Nigeria. Some of his popular movies are: ‘’Stubborn
he goat and He goats’’ respectively.
However, the question i will like to ask Nkem Owoh is that, is he trying
to re-act his character in the ‘’HE GOAT- the movie’’, in which he
specialises in dating the widows?
If his an answer is no, while then would a secondary school teacher,
Mrs. Gloria Ayogu, a widow, claimed that a Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, aka
Osuofia, allegedly demolishing her house in Enugu State.
Mrs. Ayogu, an employee of Federal Government College, Enugu, has since
2008 been at war with Owoh over a piece of land at 9, Ikpeama Street,
Emeheluaku Layout, Trans-Ekulu in Enugu metropolis.
The widow said she had long reported the case to the police and vowed to
see the matter to the end.
She claimed, “Osuofia and his thugs appeared in 2008 and threatened me
for four years against building on the land.” And he (Osuofia) finally
made good his threats and pulled down the house on September 30, 2012
According to her, shortly after she completed the bungalow, which she
said she built with a loan, and was on the verge of moving in.
While narrating her ordeal, Ayogu said, “The property was bought same
year my husband died (in 2004 ) and was registered in his name. We started
developing it until my husband took ill and later died, about three months
after we relocated from where we were living.
“Some years later I discovered that the documents to the property were
missing. I searched everywhere but could not find them. I went to the man who
sold the land to us and he advised that I report to the state Ministry of
Lands. I went there and they asked me to put up a newspaper publication on the
missing document, which I did in about three different newspapers.
“I first went to the police and obtained police extract before the loss
of document was published. I also put a caveat on the property so that no buyer
would come in case people attempted to use it for fraud.
“We were living at Egwuaga Street then, so we relocated to 9,
Ikpeama Street in Trans-Ekulu, Enugu. The land registrar gave me new documents
covering the property and he advised me to be vigilant and look after my land.
“In 2006, Nkem Owoh, popularly known as Osuofia and some people came to
ask me who I was and if I was the owner of the property.”
She said, “I didn’t see them for some time until one day he resurfaced
and said I have to stop work on the site because at that time I had started
building. Not long afterwards, he demolished the house.”.
Osuofia, he said, “This woman is going to put herself in trouble. I
bought a land and the land is causing trouble between the woman and her
husband’s first wife. They are struggling over the same piece of land, so why
would the woman say it was me that demolished her house?”
“Why is she trying to scandalise my name when she knows there is a
family dispute over the land? I don’t know anything about the demolition. I
bought the property but they are having problems there, I mean the two wives.
Why wouldn’t this woman go to court and sort these things out once and for
all?”
While Owoh insisted Ayogu and her co-wife were struggling over the land,
the widow maintained that she was the only wife of her husband and that there
was no tussle over the land.
When Osuofia was asked to give the contacts of whoever sold the land to
him, he said it was long he bought it and had lost touch with the people.
