Anger curdles with regret and leaps out of his distressed soul, like lance from the palms of a troubled knight. Indeed, tragedy afflicts the soul of Lt. Col. Satchie Emmanuel Etoromi (Rtd.) A rushing stream of nerves corrupts his senses, stalling his joy and arousing his fury in a fistful of misery. That Etoromi, ex-husband of Senator Stella Oduah, was ravaged by fury when he told the ex-aviation minister to return his late son to him in Warri, Delta State for burial some weeks ago, is a stale gist. In a recent letter to his traditional ruler, Etoromi urged the royal father to intervene for the sake of peace.
In the letter titled: “Appeal To Intercede To Ensure Senator Stella Adaeze Oduah Brings My Son, Maxwell Chinedu Obiechina Wereyesigha Toritseju Etoromi To Me In Warri For Burial,” Etoromi urged the traditional ruler to order his estranged wife to return his son’s corpse to his native Delta for appropriate burial rites. Despite his recent measure, Stella refused to budge. Etoromi wailed and wept but Stella wasn’t moved a bit. In cahoots with his mother, Tuoyo Etoromi Oduah, the second son of Etoromi’s marriage with Stella blasted his father.“Buwa and I were the product of a short and abusive marriage that ended almost 30 years ago to a man with many other wives and children.
Stella Oduah is the only father, mother, carer and provider that my brother has ever known…Mr Satchi Etoromi, I beg you with God to please leave us alone forever and let Buwa rest in peace. May God have mercy on your soul for what you have just done. I wanted to forgive and reconcile but your recent actions and character have revealed that it is better to be a bastard than be your son.” Today, the news making rounds is that the father has eaten a humble while, the controversy-prone senator is gradually coming into her own.
