The dead are either mourned or celebrated, depending on the age at which they passed. But the  burial of the sister of incumbent minister of information, Dora Akunyili  was almost marred by hooligans alleged to have been sent by the former governor of  Central Bank, Prof Charles Soludo, who is married to Prof. Akuyili`s younger sister.  According to Dora Akunyili; “Prof. Soludo has singled her out as the source of his failure to win the Anambra gubernatorial election, and he convinced her sister to believe that she was the cause of his failure.

Hear her: “I came down to my village to join my family, relations and well wishers to pay my last respect to my late sister Gloria but unknown to me, my family and invited guests, a large number of thugs loyal to Prof. Charles Soludo were carefully organized to disrupt my participation in my sister’s burial ceremony”.

Anger

“When the environment in Isuofia became too insecure, tense and hostile, I quietly relocated to my father’s compound at Nanka which is few kilometres away just to avoid trouble. But Soludo’s thugs also trailed us to my own village Nanka to commence trouble but the security agents quietly dismissed them”.

“ I therefore wish to thank all my invited guest for their understanding and the church for their prayers".

Nevertheless, sources who claim to be familiar with the family melodrama labeled Prof. Dora Akunyili a liar; and asked, who does not know that her nephews and nieces actually banned her from attending their mother's burial?

Who in Nanka does not know that she has not been in talking terms with her sister (even when she was sick) for the past five years before Soludo contemplated contesting the Anambra elections?
