n

An Onitsha-based medical practitioner, Chudi Ezimoha, and a legal practitioner, Clifford Okoye, have expressed differing positions over a protracted family and business dispute involving New Healthway Company Limited.

n

Dr. Ezimoha said he has petitioned the Nanka community in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, raising concerns over developments surrounding the management and ownership of the family business.

n

He also referenced ongoing legal proceedings linked to disagreements between him and his younger brother, Okechukwu Ezimoha, over business interests, including properties at the Bridge Head Market, Onitsha.

n

According to him, the dispute dates back several years after he entrusted aspects of the business to his brother, with disagreements later arising over control and management.

n

He further noted that the matter has been before the courts, including proceedings in Awka, while efforts at reconciliation have also been explored.

n

In his response, Okoye said he is involved in the matter in a professional capacity, providing legal services connected to the business and related issues.

n

He stated that his role is limited to legal representation and that he has no personal stake in the family dispute.

n

Okoye also indicated that steps have been taken through appropriate channels regarding concerns raised during the disagreement, while noting that discussions toward resolution have been attempted.

n

The disagreement, which centres on business ownership and family relations, remains subject to legal processes and community engagement.
