Tension in Imo community as first son demands compensation before mother’s burial
Commotion as first son allegedly refuses to allow his family bury their mother in the family compound unless they settle him.
According to a retired police officer who spoke at the family’s compound, the deceased named Godwin Nwawere and his wife have a son named Uzoma Nwawere and multiple daughters who are married.
He said that the married daughters are doing well and cared for their mother while neglecting their brother and failing to accord him respect as a first son.

He added that all the daughters, who are married to men from Mbano in Imo State connived with their mother to disrespect the first son.
The retired police said in Igbo: “Godwin Nwawere, who is the husband of the deceased, has passed on. They had children; Uzoma, who is the first son, and other two, and five daughters, who are married.
“But the first son was not getting the respect due to a first son.

“All the daughters, who are married to Mbano men, connived with their mother and started treating the first son in a way that is not right.
“Now the first son has been the one living at home on credit and this pleased the daughters who are all married out.”
Following their mother’s death, the first son insisted that in order to bury her in the family’s compound, which is now his by inheritance, he must get settlement from his married sisters and their husbands (his in-laws).
