Following the judgment the Probate Registry High Court granted as regards the estate of Pa Olufunmilayo Odumosu (deceased)- aka Jesu Oyingbo – that UBA Capital PLC has taken over the properties to ensure adequate control and administration amongst the deceased’s 167 children, some beneficiaries have countered it that there is a pending motion on the case. Recall late Pa Odumosu died without leaving a will or a trust. Some of his properties include numbers 7A, 7B, 9, 10,11,13,14,15,17 Emmanuel Street, Maryland, Lagos; 37 Aliu Street via Felicia Ayodeji Street, off Ikorodu Road, Ketu, Lagos;570/622/624 Ikorodu Road, Ketu, Mile 12, Lagos. It’s also believed that he left properties and funds in the UK. When he died, there was a legal battle between his children and his disciples over the control of the vast estate and businesses.
On 18th June 2014, Justice Ronke Harrison of the Probate division of the Ikeja High Court ruled that all 167 children are entitled to share in the vast estate as beneficiaries in equal proportion. According to the ruling, “The court also granted a consequential order that the properties comprising the estate of Pa Olufunmilayo Odumosu (deceased) be taken over immediately by UBA Capital PLC and they should be assisted in all regards by the Nigerian Police Force to ensure adequate control and administration by UBA Capital PLC.” The latest is that the aggrieved beneficiaries have spoken through their lawyer Imhanguezogie D. Peter Esq. that, “The general public is hereby warned not to deal with UBA TRUSTEES LTD. regards any property of the estate of late Pa Immanuel Olufunmilayo Odumosu(aka Jesu Oyingbo) as anyone doing so, will be doing so at his/her own risk. The judgement in suit no. ID/797/2009 between Princess Adeyinka Odumosu Immanuel v. Probate Registrar High Court, Ikeja and 25 ORS. dated 18th June 2014 purporting to appoint UBA Trustees Ltd. as administrators of the estate of the late Pa Immanuel Olufunmilayo Odumosu(aka Jesu Oyingbo) is subject of appeal and there is a pending motion for stay of execution duly served on all parties in the suit.”
